Hi Ron, as you were just saying about An Attitude!....

RT> CH>The psychology of the matter is that before your heart attack you
RT>   >heard the message; but you didn't really believe you could die.  Once
RT>   >you had the heart attack you were forced to accept your mortality.
RT> 
RT> I had already accepted that as a fact.
RT> 
RT> Having (poetically speaking) looked death in the face I found out
RT> that I'm not afraid to die, but I don't want to quit living.  The
RT> doctors tell me that I "flat-lined" on the operating table.  
Interesting feelings, aren't they.
RT> When I
RT> realized that for a few precious seconds my kids didn't have a dad
RT> and my wife didn't have a husband, it brought reality to the
RT> forefront.  I also realized that there are (poetically speaking
RT> again) many bridges that I haven't yet crossed and that I WANT to
RT> cross.  I exercise so that I can do all those things that I haven't
RT> done yet. 
So many things to do and so little time in which to do them.....to
paraphrase.
