There was a day, in late 1986, where I collapsed onto my back and stared up at the Southern Cross. We were in uniform in a foreign country, and I had an epiphany and made a vow.
I realised that I had used up all my luck, all my fate, as I should have died that day, not once but many times.
I vowed that every day I lived after that day was a gift and a blessing and I'd enjoy every one to the max. I was 18 then. I'm 55 now. I've mostly kept that vow.
