This day I am gifted with:
healthy and happy loved ones here
35 years of memories with her
infinite possibility; today, tomorrow, ever after
this wicked, monster term has ended.
these words-this craft I love
creativity in thought, word and deed.
freedom of expression, freedom of speech
freedom from oppression, freedom to be
another day to try to improve
another day to love, laugh, cry
another day to cherish each other
another day to create. Another day.

The gift of another day — precious.
I found out last night that a friend I was hanging out with just a couple weeks ago has stage 4 brain cancer. It’s all too much to take; am still processing the fragility of life. Will see him this weekend; me with my faux-happy face because I have to be strong for him, and let him know that there can still be good days in his future, in his now.

Oh no, that’s so hard. Sending you strength and good thoughts.

Another day. A new chance. Today. 🙂

if I may quote kung-fu panda: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present.

Beautiful. And I love the quote from kung-fu panda: the perfect addendum!

tee hee. I thought it fit.

having been rather forcibly reminded myself, you’re welcome.
