This is a video of a fellow on Oprah, who is dying. Very powerful messages in it.

What powerful, incredible strength and dignity.  I could only hope to hold a candle to this person if I found myself in the same circumstances.

It is also a powerful message to all of us to re-examine our priorities in life.

Thanks Dean:
Finally pulled it up!

I did see this a while back and was so moved by this man's strength and courage! What a great example he has set for many!!! I know when I first saw it I asked myself how can I complain about one thing in my life!

Working with cancer patients had given me the same outlook on life! I appreciate all I have and try to return this to my patients today! I was so upset that I lost my job working with my wonderful patients but am finding in my new job I am still encountering special people today! What a great joy they bring me!

Glad I read this after working like a dog last night(it was crazy!) Makes my day!

Thanks for the suggestion, Scott. I can't access it & have tried Dean's link too. Are there any other pointers or tips I can use to find the clip? Happy Sober Day ;) Danielle x
