It's not the water under us that counts......

[Guest guest]

Ok, this is sort of a lousy analogy but you don't have to read it....lol

We often spent time on the lake growing up and I remember my aunt

panicking to know her kids were in such deep water. Guess she thought

the lake was 10-12 feet deep under our dock when it was around 70 feet

deep. My father said to her " It's not the amount of water under them

that counts, its the amount over them. "

Well, its not how much time we have left that is important. It's what we

do with the time we have and most importantly what we do today. If our

head is above water then thats all that matters. We just stay afloat

another day. If we think too much of the depth of our disease then we

might just miss the beauty of life that is visible from the surface.

I am not attempting to minimize the disease. It's just that first none

of us know or have ever known how long we have. Second, if I knew the

exact day I'm going to die, then so what? What would I do about it?

Nothing different. All I can do is make the most of today and then each

day thereafter.
