Occasionally, late at night, when my DH is holding me and stroking my hair, I will sob, mourning what was...what I can no longer do...
then I wake up, thank Creation for another day, another opportunity to live, and I work my best to make it worthwhile. Sometimes it works, sometimes I sleep all day...
We can't change the past...it's gone. We don't hold the future...it's not here, and not guaranteed...
All we have is this very moment, this breath.

so do we utilize it by mourning what we can't do that which we used to do?
Do we utilize it by agonizing about what we might not be able to do in the future?
Or do we work with the moment, do what we CAN, and be grateful for that?

Not the easiest path, by any means, and I won't judge anyone who vies for the past or future...I try my best to live for this moment. Not always successful, but when I am, I have bliss
