Two Years Reprieve How To Live In The Moment

Two years ago I had a heart attack.


I've been very fortunate. The cardiologist was luckily already in the ER when I arrived and despite the fact that I was suffering all day long (thinking I had indigestion!!)

I made it out..alive.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about what happened. My days of self pity are now long in my past. 

I have made changes to give myself the best shot I can.



I never took pills before that day. Never thought twice about lifting the box of film or heading up a flight of stairs.
I sure do now.

I can tell you that when I get indigestion these days I immediately panic.

No; I haven't run to the hospital simply because I am as stubborn or as stupid as I was two years ago!

I've had to come to terms with my mortality.

You have no choice, really.
I get a kick out of doing what I do every day.

There is the competitive challenge. The thrill of victory and the rare disappointment.

There's an isolation in running your own business. There is stress and self doubt.

Through it all this company, Advanced Film Solutions has grown and prospered.

We are stronger than we have ever been and our expansion has continued.

Sure. .there are limits and days that aren't spectacular.

But. .
For today; the Old Man is still kicking.

And that's all you can really ask for.
