I look up and onwards, towards a new outlook, filled with new beginnings and freedom.
There is a real freedom in being told you have pancreatic cancer and also being told you don’t need chemo. That’s medical advancement. That’s how far we’ve come in 20 years. From “the death sentence” cancer twenty years ago to this.
I experience that blessing, and look towards the next thing. But this time around, second time facing this, I am remembering to be here.
Not just get through the days-and some days were god awful-but remember to be here. Take the moment. Get to nature. Be quiet.
Not worrying about tomorrow, not crying about yesterday, but to really try to be here. Now.
All the fun cliches come running in. Somewhere, there’s a hallmark card brewing.
It’s true though. I want to feel the moment. Period. I want to experience the energy of these new Miami streets. Any stress should be identified and then eliminated. Smile and either see someone else smile back at you, and if they don’t, that’s on them. Keep on walking
Remember to be here.
