I hope you can seize the day and SEE a tree with new eyes(in a way you've never seen it before), or a flower or feel the wind in a way you never have before. ......
maybe instead of thinking one only has 5 -10 years left-- thinking that one has many "todays" left and treasure the present.  maybe I'm a bit mushy or too simplistic ... but... that's what helps me anyway. 
best to you Ygrec

No, fins, you're not at all mushy or simplistic. Today. It's hard to just do "today." "Today" (for me) is rough, real rough. If "today" were half decent, no problem. But, for me at least, "today" is so covered with faecal matter that it's not really a refuge. Maybe someday soon it will be. I certainly hope so. Thank you for your post. Take care.
