One perspective that is sometimes offered to a person dealing with a disease that may or may not lead to their demise is, “Any one of us could die any time. All any of us really has is this moment.”
I agree with that, and I appreciate the perspective shining light on how important this moment is. Seeing this helps me to absorb blessings in the here and now that I might miss in my hurrying along…
Still, making dentist appointments this morning for the next six month check-ups for my boys is different for me than for any random one of us.
I wonder, will I be here next April? Eewww! Here I am, talking with this receptionist about six months down the line, and she is so matter-of-fact about seeing us then as we are now. Inside I am unsure and feeling alone in some predicament…
Yet this is all adventure in my imagination. Someone once said to me, “If you’re going to make stuff up, you might as well make up good stuff.”
