My Happy Place for Today: This Picture
My husband and I were sitting on the deck that for some strange reason I like to call our porch, and I started noticing cool things I wanted to photograph…but really did not want to go inside to drag out my real camera. I can be lazy like that. I’m not proud of it. Just being honest.
I saw this one dandelion in particular that I wanted to photograph. My husband told me that I should get my camera because it might not be there tomorrow.
In light of the last few days, there is a life lesson here. I went out today and sure enough, there was very little of it left. I managed to find this one in the middle of our cul-de-sac. I knew immediately what I would call it…
My brother told me years ago, just months before he was diagnosed with a brain tumor, that we are never guaranteed anymore in life than the moment we have right now. To hear my husband now after just being tested for Huntington’s Disease the day before say something similar about the dandelion only to go out the next day to find that particular one practically all gone was surreal.
Seize the day.
With any disease we can all find ourselves lost in hopelessness. If the focus is on the life we won’t have or the future we won’t have, we will have missed the day that we do have. Do not worry so much about tomorrow that you miss living today.
Seize the day.
