That’s the question. What’s ahead? You see, under normal circumstances, most people would lay out a long term soliloquy of what they will do for years and years to come. I can no longer afford such a luxury. My plans are made from day to day, minute to minute. Most of the time I “play by ear” so to speak. This is my philosophy now, no time to waste. Not that this affects my faith though, on the contrary, as far as all concerned, God has already<\/strong> healed my so-called affliction! So I live life expeditiously now. My life is much more precise. Since I am sans pettiness, each day is filled with happiness and joy! It’s no secret, anyone can choose<\/strong> to live life like this. This, my third summer being diagnosed, is by far my best<\/strong> summer ever<\/strong>! Traveling through NYC on my fix has been amazing! <\/strong>I do not know how many summers I have left so I enjoy whatever comes. That’s HIS decision. And to think that this is all because of my diagnosis! I’ll put it simply… cancer has changed my perception of how to live<\/strong> life! Wow! Imagine that! Never could anyone ever<\/strong> convince me to believe that a diagnosis of cancer (stage IV at that!) would change my life for the better! But it has! So please do not wait for a life changing diagnosis to start living! <\/strong>Live now!<\/strong> Be aware of your mortality! Use it to learn how to really LIVE <\/strong>life! I have. It’s easy! Just keep faith, no matter what<\/strong> circumstances assail you. God will have your back! Peace and blessings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
