'Part of what I do today is living in the now. Living in the present. If I look too far back or look too far forward, it gets kind of crazy and I get fearful,' Kim said.
Kim also said her ex-husband Monty who has been battling cancer also was doing well.
'We've been spending some good quality time together. So, yeah, just enjoying life. One day at a time. Sometimes one minute at a time,' she said.
