I also read ALL emails but it takes time to respond sometimes. Using comments rather than "contact me" is ideal. I can answer questions here and that gives other readers the opportunity to read the Q&A. Obviously, feel free to send a private msg if you desire. I do not want to discourage that in any way. Thanks again for your support of this site. I pray that the readership finds this site useful, encouraging and can somehow garner a bit of hope from it...

I am a cancer survivor myself ~ although sadly am waiting for further surgery and another biopsy at the moment. I was initially diagnosed with primary bone cancer (chondrosarcoma) in 1995 ~ and there may now be a recurrence or a related problem (I'm staying positive). I couldn't agre more with what you say. Truth is if we spend our days worrying about what the future may bring we lose our days ... as well as potentially our tomorrows. So often I look at a beautiful scene, I breathe in the sea air (I live on the coast) and I listen to the seagulls ~ and I say to myself: Today I am alive. Today I can enjoy this gift of nature. Today my senses are working and I feel good. I try very hard to enjoy the moment ~ it's the best way, for our lives are made up of moments. Thanks for sharing. Hi Mark,

I just printed it. I will read it to my husband, Marc, when he gets home from fishing. He too, lives for today. I am the one who worries about tomorrow. The next time I get overwhelmed about the future I will read this entry again, and over and over if I have to. I hope you are having a great day today.

I've told you before... your website is a gift to so many. Thanks for the encouragement, and for snapping us back into the "now." She goes Tuesday to find out about starting radiation and new chemo... but TODAY is Saturday and we're all taking her nine-year-old to the movies... Bless you, brother!
