Once in a while a thought will hit me and get me starting to think and in most cases over analyze things. Driving home last night I was listening to the radio and a song came on that started me thinking of my life and current situation. I realized in a strange perverse sort of way that my diagnosis is a gift. Ok, before you thinking I've really gone over the edge let me explain.

We are all going to die sooner or later. That's a given we just can't get away from. But when I was told last year of my cancer I was given a hour glass filled with tiny particles of sand. I don't know how big that hour glass is or how fast the sand is falling but I know its there. I look at every day as a gift. So many of us look at living in the past or future. What we should be doing is looking at living in the present and taking advantage of everything put in front of us. It's so easy to say that we will eventually get to it and in some cases that time never arrives. Problem is we think there is always time and until you're in a situation like I am you don't think that that time could be shortened in a heart beat. So my gift to you my friends is to tell you to DANCE. Don't put things off you want to do because that time may never get here. Take those art lessons, travel to that spot you always wanted to go, make that new friend, be with your friends instead of worrying about cleaning the house. Remember for every door that closes another one opens. Your have a choice - you could just sit it out or dance. Just DANCE!
