An email I received today at 9am.
When I read this.. I realized we need to apply this ALL to our life.. regardless of medical situations!

Dear Josh -
I just read the blog entry you made last night about the test results and the CT scan scheduled for the end of the month. I know that this must seem like the world's longest-lasting nightmare at this point and I also know that more waiting can't help but take a real toll on you.
That said, I also know that you realize how very important it is for you to put the next test out of your mind until it actually happens. When you wake each morning, try to take a deep breath and just enjoy the fact that you feel good and that you have a rewarding and interesting job to do and lots and lots of friends and family who care about you. Whenever someone asks you to go to a movie or out for lunch or dinner, say yes and live in and enjoy that moment, that person, that experience. Treat yourself to a professional massage or something like that. Take a picnic to the beach ( it isn't that far away, is it?) Do something you've always wanted to do but have never gotten around to. Don't think ahead and don't try to guess what's around the next corner.
Our lives are made up of moments - that's all we get. No single moment ever comes again so we need to grab each one and live it to the fullest - just as you grabbed the chance to pass the peanuts on the plane last week! Don't allow anticipation of another test or doctor visit to steal the good moments away from you! I know from my own experience that this is far easier to preach than to actually do but I also know that if anyone can do this, you can! You already have - so just keep up the good work!
Love, M
