There’s a tension between living in the moment AND looking after your future self.

I was the Queen of using “living in the moment” as an excuse for bad behaviour. The worst offender being heavy drinking. I mean, why worry about how I feel tomorrow? Let’s just enjoy today. Life is short and all that.

Here’s my excuse. Nine years ago, I went through breast cancer (the full monte kind). After starring into the face of my mortality, I decided what the heck. I mean - who know’s what the future will bring - so I’m a gonna have a good time.
