SHOES

U know on this beautiful sunday morning it entered my mind that we don`t really know what is in store for us to day .
Thats why we should enjoy every hour, every moment,to the max, as tomorrow is promised to no one, especially people with cancer.We really need to give thanks in a serious way as we have been given a warning so we really should get it ........right?...Bob Marley died without a will why? Didn`t he get it?
If he didn`t even believe he was going to die didn`t he get a "memo" that he was in serious waters so he should be prepared.....How many of us leave our homes and don`t come back?..
A member of my staff ate fast food with her husband,he changed into his shorts and t-shirt,said "soon come" to the children and herself.On returning they shot him at the gate.
At 6p.m. when they ate their fast food did he know it was his last meal? ......did he know he was going to"touch road" for the last time?...If somebody had told him would he have" touched road "or stayed with his family or would he have started screaming in fear...
Everybody who gets cancer wether a warning or a full blown attack KNOWS fear.........how many of us thank God for the warning?How many of us acknowledge we r scared and trust God to calm our fears ...knowing that no matter the outcome everything will be alright ,we WILL be alright .......As no matter what its only good,if we survive its good, and if we don`t its still good as there must be something bigger and better for us where we r going than lying in a bed unable to move,as the body that was housing our spirit that u treated so badly,no respect shown to it at all over the years, breaks down and starts to leave u.Why do we need to hold on? What do we think we haven`t finished that we can finish from a hospital bed connected to all kinds of machines........
Some of us get paralyzed by FEAR and some of us use it as a catalyst to get on with life......quality instead of quantity ,today instead of tomorrow..NOW instead of later.........Time for yourself planned into everyday, instead of everyone else first and u after the fact....they will all be here doing just what they want to without you,And u and your nagging will be gone.....don`t sweat the small stuff,
If u had a lifelong wish to paint ,paint,who cares that u r not picasso? If u always wanted to dance,take a class.
Just get moving time is precious.
If 24 hours seems short to u remember its going to be long when u r in bed unable to move.......
Last year when i came home from the hospital , my first realization that i was truly sick was my reaction to my shoes.Those of u who know me well know that shoes r my passion.Well i looked at my closet filled with shoes and realized that if i had died in hospital which i almost did......someone else in fact A LOT of someone elses would even now be wearing my shoes.
