Not to make it morbid, but… After treatment for cancer, even after being declared as cancer-free as you can with bone cancer, I became hyper-aware of my mortality. Not that the cancer was going to kill me (it might not), but that no matter what I do, no matter how well I live, sooner or later the inevitable would occur. I found it difficult to take enjoyment in many things as a result. Then one day I was sitting outside at my favorite coffee place on a warm sunny day, being kind of morose and thinking along the lines of “Yeah, it’s a nice day, but someday I won’t be able to enjoy this.” Then the breakthrough: "Yes, but that’s not today. The fact that one day you won’t be able to is certainly no reason not to enjoy today. Indeed, it makes it all the more important to, pardon the cliche, “live for today.” I know it seems obvious and I’m sure we all know it, but knowing and realizing are not synonymous. I still have bouts of moroseness, but very few, and remembering that day makes it better. That thought literally changed my life.
