Today is Your Day!

March 14, 2021

I used to be that kind of person who had to have my meals right on time. I would get hungry around 9am, noon and about 5pm, and I would eat right then, or I would get way too hungry and upset. It is amazing to watch how things change. Even such strong eating habits like those I had. I lost my appetite completely. Akiko has been making me special Miso Broth and that is about what I eat.

I want to exercise more. Once in bed, the desire to exercise or move much disappeared. It is uncomfortable to be moving in bed, lying down in different positions. And yet, I know it’s essential to keep my body at least somewhat toned.

Sitting in bed, looking at the people walking on the beach, I wonder again, how is that I moved so fast from a walking the beach girl with no worries, to this dependent woman in bed and can barely move… how big life changes can happen so fast and with no advance notice. How we all, to some degree take life for granted, thinking what we have we will have forever, and then… I know so many couples who planed so much for after retirement, Only the face the loss of all their dreams.

Make everyday count. Each day look for joy and adventure. Let anger or upset or blame completely go. Smile a lot. Pay forward, do something good to a stranger, Today is the only day you really got.
