What're you waiting for?

Today has been a long day. I found a lump in my breast a few weeks ago and finally went to the doctor today. She said she thought it was just a cyst, but I'm sure that's what they say to everyone who has a lump. She scheduled an ultrasound for tomorrow afternoon. My nature is to go into full panic mode. But so far, I've done a pretty good job. Yeah it's been on my mind today but I'm not freaking out to the fullest like I have about similar things in the past.

It got me thinking... And I said the same thing I said to myself during the whole Mono fiasco. I would say...when I was waiting on blood tests to find out if I had Leukemia...if there's nothing wrong with me I am gonna be so happy. I'm gonna do this and that and live life to the fullest. I had a similar train of thought today and it just reminds me that life is short and we should be living every day to the fullest. Anything less is a waste. It's a shame it takes something scary to remind people more often than not.

I'm going over to visit my 43 Things list and see what I can start marking off. The time to start living is now. Today is a special occasion. Today is a gift!
