I was experiencing something of a health scare. There was something wrong with my hearing and I had to get an MRI. I knew it was probably nothing, and I was lucky that it turned out to be nothing. But at the time I couldn't help think....What if I never again steal out of work with my coworkers again to get coffee? What if I never again walk by another pizza parlor on a cold evening when the windows are all fogged up from the heat inside? What if I never randomly discover another masterpiece pop song? And I realized how much I loved those things, even if the other bigger life goals never happened. Those little things already gave me so much.
