Seizing the day

Today is the time to step in, recognize, or create opportunities to take it to the next level and communicate leadership or earn respect through performance. Empower yourself  to rise to the occasion by a window of opportunity and transform it through motivation. No matter what you face you can transform it into a useful situation, always learning and never failing to try your best.

May is always a busy month for us, but with the beginning of my wife's chemo therapy treatment, it has become even more so. Thus I have made the decision to not only seize the day but to in fact seize every single moment of every day I am given. I the past couple of months it has become all to clear the value and preciousness of life. I have been recently humbled to the extent that I do indeed know the gifts I have been given and I try harder and harder each day to be both aware and thankful of all the precious gifts I have and the ones I have yet to receive. 

Cancer has  long and intense effects on those it touches, not only the patient but the family and friends that care for and love the patient. Some of the changes we fully expected, some came as a total surprise. I will at a later time go into more detail of these changes and the ways we've found to deal with them at a later date. Be sure to check back when I introduce 

Silent Survivors a new blog I have been developing as a hopefully helpful guide and journal of our journey as we navigate through this strange land of cancer.

So once again I must say take not only the day but every moment of every day and make it your own. Bring your world around to where you want it, don't except the luck of the draw, stack the deck in your favor at every opportunity.
