Sunday Sermon VI - There's no time like the present....x

Fuzzy Logic…

I’ve had an emotionally charged few days. Wednesday started rosily, woken up to a cool present and massive congratulations from Fi for cancer cheating for 10 years. The day kinda passed me by though. We went to see the birthing suite at the hospital in the evening and I left there pretty underwhelmed, it’s hardly The Ritz. By the time we’d sat down to pizza I was struggling to maintain the momentum I’d expected to be rolling with.

I don’t know what I was expecting from Wednesday really. 10 years of being cancer free is obviously a real landmark, but it’s just a day, just another day. 

Friday however was a lovely day and evening. Loads of friendly faces came and shared the celebrations and we danced, oh boy did we dance. We even tested Marge’s 7-seat capacity and she performed fantastically en route to Mr Wolfs.

All this aside, I’m sat here tonight feeling ready for the next stage of living. Cancer now has to take the back seat and let the new focal points ride shotgun. Life is about to change up the gears and there’s no time for melancholy and procrastination, it’s full speed ahead, pedal to the metal, baby time!

Without having such a critical focal point to work towards I think I’d have found the past few months a lot more difficult to get my head around. Sure, at times I’ve been sat here in despair, wondering how to get back on the horse, but on the whole I think I’ve managed to ride this rollercoaster with a reasonably sound outlook and hope, always hope.

The future’s bright, but the present is so much more important to focus on right now. Too much planning and safeguarding and worrying about what might or might not will only compromise these precious moments. The reality is that we only have another 4 or 5 Saturdays lazing around the house at our leisure so let us just enjoy these limited, self indulgent moments to reflect, to enjoy and to feel the love in a little peace and quiet. We spend so much time living in the past, victims of the past, afraid of the future, wondering with uncertainty. It's such a shame because we're wasting the here and now, and there's no time like the present...

One Love
