Today I Get to Choose.

"You don't get to choose how you're going to die or when. You only decide how you are going to live. Now." - Joan Baez.

A family member is going through some tough times. Tough times is a huge understatement. The doctors are using not quite using the "C" word, but in my books, lymphoma isn't all that great either. Yesterday morning she underwent a biopsy, and we are waiting, hoping and praying for some good news.

Seeing what she and her family are going through really puts a creaky knee and a mid-life crisis in perspective. Today I get to choose how I am going to live.
