It's another beautiful day

Garrison Keillor once said that near-death experiences are good for the soul, and if it weren't for the inherent risk, he'd recommend them to everyone.

Garrison Keillor is a wise man. Every day now really is better. There are tangible differences.

And the best part of all--the one reward of having suffered through cancer, I'm going to say--is that you're so grateful for it. You're so grateful to feel good, to taste coffee, to feel hunger again. You're grateful to feel chilly and to wrap up in a robe. To make coffee and look out the window while you drink it. To read the morning paper.

It's like someone suddenly sprang the gift of life on you. It's everywhere, and you want to do and see everything--right now.

There's no time to lose.
