I look at myself in the mirror, and I am still the same.
Nothing about me seems to have changed.
Maybe my hairstyle, it is not as neat as it was before.
I walk, stretch, and look outside my window.
It is the same again.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping.
The leaves and flowers are budding.
The butterflies are floating leisurely, and the bees are buzzing.
Yet, despite the joyous symphony of spring; an invisible enemy lurks in the shadows.
This nemesis awaits, ready to pounce on us at any moment.
My daily habits have changed.
My carefree life lies at my feet blown to pieces by this silent, insidious foe.
So how do I live now?
A day at a time, I guess.
How do I find joy?
Make the most of each moment, I think.
For you see, I don’t know how to look far into the future.
That great unknown paralyses me.
I will bite all I can chew.
For me, right now, I can only munch on “the present.”
Yes, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.
That is all I know to do.
I guess it is enough.
Isn’t it?
