Time: Love Every Moment of It is a heartfelt account by a woman who has survived breast cancer and learned a new value of time in her life. It is a profoundly moving story that shares spiritual truths as well.
"Time. Is there anything that we don't wish about it? There's a saying that explains it well: "Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." (Henry Van)
"And just as we can wish for the speedy passage of time when anticipating happy events, or the slowing down of it when that special day finally arrives, time takes on a different dimension when confronted with something like cancer. Yes, you have the almost-stopped and dream like quality of time when you are diagnosed with the disease, embarking on a roller coaster of emotions, from anger to disbelief."

"And then there's the most important opportunity of all. The realization that you appreciate every moment you have. In fact time is no longer that important. Because in between all that time you once wished away can be found so many small joys. There are little packages of happiness tucked away in all those little places that you won't notice if you're too intent on making your hurried way. And the realization of this fact is the gift that I, along with many other cancer survivors, give to you today. Slow down and appreciate every moment, as hard as that may seem, for you never know when it will be your last."
I particularly loved her statement "there are little packages of happiness tucked away in all those little places that you won't notice if you're too intent on making your hurried way". Time: Love Every Moment of It is full of little "truths".
