I enjoy writing and helping fellow cancer survivors, but I need to sell real estate to help pay the bills. Realtors often work evenings and weekends. Today, Sunday, was no exception. At an open house, Steve, the owner, quoted an unamed writer: "Life is what happens while you are making other plans." So true! Steve is retired and lives in a beautiful lakefront home with his wonderful wife, Sandy. He is anxious to sell so the couple can relocate to Kentucky. The real estate market is slow. Steve admits that he is frustrated. It makes it difficult to enjoy living day to day. I understand how Steve feels! I, too, have always been in a hurry to reach a goal or be somewhere that I'm not. But I am beginning to realize time is too short, too precious to waste. My cancer diagnosis drives that point home. Thanks for reminding me of that today, Steve! It won't be easy, but I'm going to strive to slow down and live in the moment- to live for today.
Feel good and keep smiling! Pat
