I had Chinese food tonight! By itself, that's not a big deal, except I really had a craving (it's been a while), and I am still around to enjoy it. I may not be here tomorrow, but today I still am, and because I could, I had Chinese food.
The picture above is from 2005 following the first of numerous skin cancer surgeries; I have had several between then and now. There was an assortment of basal cells and squamous cells. The last one was a melanoma which was successfully removed as it was caught early.
I am in my 76th year and am at the point when I could have twenty seconds or twenty years left. It's not a matter of if but when. I have decided not to wait on certain things (I also bought a package of black licorice recently).
I know my life choices are not always in my best interest, but that's okay. I have watched people around me get old, and I don't have the patience or grace to get there. There is a point I don't want to reach. I am not there yet, but there are some small signs.
At the moment, it's all good!
Anyhow, just some food for thought.
