My biopsy results are still out in the ether somewhere. While I am anxious it is not with the trepidation that I had had for awhile. I hope and pray for the best but their is not a damned thing I can do.
This morning I had hoped to go to the shooting range at Sunrise and Douglas to shoot my 22 rife for a bit. I was blessed to inherit the 22 from my grandfather. It is an old Browning Rifle back when they were made in Belgium. But I came to find out the range had closed in late June after 38 years. I was disappointed. Target shooting on occasion is fun and a great stress reliever.
Over the past week since my appointment with my oncologist I have been thinking which I know is troublesome to some. What if?
Sunset Boat Cruise Fiji
What if you were given 1,200 more sunsets? What if………. Is it a fine cigar, some sippin’ whiskey and a card game on a Mississippi River Boat; Maybe bacon wrapped pan seared scallops over a risotto with a glass of your favorite pinot noir overlooking the Manhattan skyline; Is it a freshly caught trout over an open flame at your favorite spot along the Pacific Crest Trail; Perhaps sipping a double espresso on the balcony of your apartment in Paris overlooking the Eiffel Tower;
Turtle Island, Fiji
I
What if…….. Watching the SF Giants trounce the Dodgers at ATT&T Park with an ice cold beer, a dog and some fresh hot garlic fries; Watching the lions feed on that long dreamt of African safari; Walking up the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach with 3 lifelong friends and a round of golf for the ages; Driving down that long lonely ribbon of hig hway with nothing but your thoughts for miles around; Seeing Grizzly Bears in the Tetons or Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park.
What if……….Pushing your granddaughter in the swing at her favorite park; Walking hand in hand with your spouse down the beach on Kaui with your dogs; That secluded cabin by the lake to finally write that novella that has been rattling around in your brain for the last two decades; Simply a backyard barbecue with friends and family. Tomorrow is 1,199. What if…….
God Bless!
