Stay in the moment

Dear Lulu

Life is uncertain and we have learned that through Covid. No one knows the future with or without this disease. Take all your energy and put it into the moment you are in. Make a list of the things that bring you joy right now and put one into your own care plan every day. All we have is the now , and it’s precious time. My husband was diagnosed with lung cancer 3 years ago and our world flipped upside down. He was given a 6% chance of survival. After surgery chemo and radiation he is alive and we take one day at a time but we make sure we don’t waste time worrying or researching on Dr Goggle.

I don’t mean to sound Pollyanna but the truth is all we have is now. Don’t waste this precious time live it.

Sending you strength and encouragement

Sunny

Nothing wrong with Pollyanna….

It’s hard for people to change the way they think but so worth seeing half full glass not half empty .

What men and women need is encouragement. Their natural resisting powers should be strengthened, not weakened ... Instead of always harping on a man's faults, tell him of his virtues. Try to pull him out of his rut ... Hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out! ... People radiate what is in their minds and in their hearts.

-Eleanor H. Porter
