Life on Life’s Terms

Phil sat down next to me. Watching him ease himself into the chair was itself painful.

“I heard you need another operation,” I said. “That sucks.”

“You know the slogan, ‘life on Life’s terms.’ No use fighting it.”

“Still, two tours of Iraq and you don’t get a scratch. Swerve to miss a groundhog and end up needing one surgery after another.”

He put his hand on my shoulder and smiled. “I had the best omelet this morning. And pancakes. And bacon. Really good coffee.  Life’s terms were pretty good today.  You won’t hear me complaining when they’re a little harder.”

I reminded myself to be grateful when life’s terms were good.

Today I’ll be grateful for ‘Life on Life’s terms.’
