Un momento por favor... (One moment please)

I have always found it amazing how a single moment can change your life. One second everything is fine and the next it is complete chaos. From that moment on your plans are changed and your path is altered.
I was reminded of this feeling last night. I went to bed perfectly healthy but when I awoke I was 100% sick. This, of course, is not one of those moments that is completely life changing. But it was a reminder of how much control I have over my fate and my future. I was planning on having a typical lazy Sunday. Wake up, go to church, come home, clean, eat, run errands, visit friend, watch tv, eat, sleep. Perfect! Instead I woke up about 3 hours later than planned, got dressed, coughed, sniffled, sneezed, moped about the house, ran some errands, then got on the computer.
I may be losing you by now but stick with me because I have a point. My point is that life throws you curve balls. Your plan is not necessarily 'the plan.' It is essential that you cherish your present and remain flexible. If you're always chasing after your tomorrows, you will never experience today. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, it should not be your focus. The only time you know you own is the past.
I so want to go back to being healthy. I took my unstuffed nose and my unsore throat for granted. But hey, I should cherish this time I have while sick to spend extra time in bed resting. Right?! Hahaha...

You have just witnessed my randomness.
