Gratitude is a virtue because we choose to celebrate rather than to resent.

The first thing I thought of was my family. I thought, will I ever see them again? All I could do was pray and surrender them to God.

I think I’m the perfect example of someone who lives in the moment.

I like being able to play with colors, choosing which shades to use. I find it relaxes me, but the easiest thing is just going to my center, and breathing in and breathing out.

It’s really about learning to prioritize. So far, I’ve been doing what I want to do. I went back to studying piano, giving recitals—things I had given up for a long time.

The whole experience really changed the way I looked at life and death. And the way I look at family and everything, they are like precious gifts. And it’s a second life, so you will really appreciate it more. Now, I know what salvation really means.
