Last week I had my first oncologist visit after starting a clinical
trial. My cancer markers had risen
slightly and the nurse could tell I was concerned, she smiled, “Your cancer is
like a train going 150 mph, and when we put on the brakes, it skids a little
before it stops.” Walking out I felt better
for my life has always been like a train going 150 mph, and I’ve rarely used
the brakes. My dad and mom taught me to “lean
forward” in life, like in skiing, and use the edge provided by faith, family,
friends, and a willingness to learn from my failures to maximize my life experience. What a joy!
Are you leaning forward enough and using your edge?
