Be Aggressively Hopeful

The lowest point in my husband’s cancer diagnosis is what we called “the double handshake”.
It’s when someone you’ve just met stands in front of you, shakes your hand and says, “good luck” and then places their other hand on top and says, “God bless”.
Everything that happened the day or week or year before didn’t seem to matter.
We were living in the today moment for sure. And it didn’t feel very good at all.
Thoughts of tomorrow felt out of reach, a pipe dream.
But very quickly you rely on the lessons and experiences of yesterday. You put on your big boy/girl pants. Make a decision to live in the present moment and deal with that, however ugly and scary it looks. Then wag a finger in the air and shout “fuck you!” and fight like hell for the hope of tomorrow.
BE F-G AWESO
ME TODAY!
