Today my beloved Brina had outpatient surgery to take a growth off her front paw.
She had a strong reaction to the sedatives... but ended up doing really well with the procedure; and tonight is resting comfortably.
Also today... a friend of a friend has been life-flighted to a nearby medical center for treatment after she had a severe heart attack.
And... another friend of a friend is recovering from brain surgery.
Life is short.
Life is fragile.

Things I am grateful for today:
-sunrises
-clear skies
-fresh air
-morning coffee
-good friends
-doctors, nurses.... people who heal
-helicopters
-ambulance personnel
-medicine
-sunsets
