After surviving what could have led to my demise, a few months back, I have decided to focus more on the day at hand, rather than reminiscing about the past. The past cannot be changed and whether dwelling on the glory days or regretting the days clothed in shame, I face the day at hand, feeling unburdened by what has been.

So today there is nothing exciting happening in my little nook of the world. Thanks to daylight saving time, I now have to wait another hour for dawn so I can embark on my one hour pilgrimage, seeking a maintenance of my current health profile, that after testing, recent surgery, and therapy, boast those beautiful words, "cancer free." Those of you that have had cancer, can relate to the beautiful melody of those words. It is an exhilaration beyond what words can describe.

On one recent visit, my doctor inquired about my heritage. She emphasized the point that certain races and ethnic groups have inherited traits that may lead to certain problems being more prevalent. Although my American and Canadian Indian heritage is only 20%, it does mesh with certain weaknesses that my DNA exhibits. Realizing these weaknesses, makes certain warning signs of more importance than they would have been had I not known. Sometimes I miss the smoke signals because of all the clouds.

I think that we all miss the smoke signals sometimes, @Faye 2.0 ; I sure have missed a lot of them in my life while I was too busy trying to live life to notice the smoke signals.
I try to focus on today also, and maybe look forward to tomorrow as well. As you said, the past of done and gone, and can’t be changed by anyone; so today is what we have.
 
Very true @Yvonne Smith about looking forward also. I realize that I planned for the future so much, I forgot to live the day at hand to the fullest. I will still do some future planning, but not so much I waste the day at hand.
 
To best describe Faye 2.0 is Patti LaBelle

Runnin' hot
Runnin' cold
I was runnin' into overload
It was extreme

I took it so high
So low
So low, there was nowhere to go
Like a bad dream

Somehow the wires uncrossed
The tables were turned
Never knew I had such a lesson to learn

I'm feelin' good from my head to my shoes
Know where I'm goin' and I know what to do
I've tidied up my point of view
I got a new attitude
 
That sounds like you are happy and having a good day, today, @Faye 2.0 ! I am glad to hear that. Enough bad days can catch us that we need to enjoy every single day that we can in this life.
