Today, there was very little scope for going into the past and future

Day was made beautiful with song and music by close friends.

The CANT DOs don't hurt as much as before.. The loud reverberation of a long list of restrictions....... Can't play tennis

Can't go for morning walk

Can't move much

Can't climb stairs

Want to break free of these doctor made shackles

Mentally shake off these thoughts

Live with today , breathe in today

With a smile , with gratitude

The reality sinks in.. Choice or no choice, acceptance or fight, life or death... all is well and there is peace . All right, the cancer returned for the 4th time since 2010. This time to the liver, lymph nodes and femur bone Many thoughts, deafening sound of silence, surprisingly no tears. I could very easily at this point feel bad, sad or cry.. Or else I could be different and add value to every day and spread peace and be in peace. Time passes with quiet waves of acceptance. I hold the future and the past away from me and the calm deepens., cocooned by family and friends who rally around as I put life into life, today... Tomorrow is another day ..
