Friends and Lessons
Written 1/17/10:
Day three in my new “home”...
Many boxes and containers have been emptied, which is always a little like opening presents. It’s fun to find things you forgot about, re-read notes stuffed inside a book or just find something that makes you wonder…”why the hell did I keep that”?
I’ve gotten tired easily these past couple of days. Today I started (and hope to continue) an improvement in my sleeping, eating, and exercising habits. It’s amazing what a little ‘wake-up call’ will do for your focus and discipline!
Not too long ago, I wrote an article about longevity and the importance of friendship. Well, if longevity were dependent on friends alone, I would live to be 150!! I have the most wonderful family and friends anyone could ever want. The great thing is that I always know they are there and can be counted on “through thick and thin”; but since my diagnosis on Thursday, everyone has rallied ’round me like covered wagons of old circling together to protect me. I don’t feel weak or discouraged, but their love buoys me up and is a safe haven where I can be myself and escape, if necessary.
Quite honestly, I still don’t feel as if this is happening to me… and miracles do happen, don’t they? Who’s to say it won’t disappear as stealthily as it appeared with enough positive, healthy energy directed at it? Truthfully, I’m just not owning it at this point. It’s like there’s something more to this whole scenario than I understand…the why…because there is a why, a reason, a lesson. I’ve always been a really good student, and this course I intend to pass with flying colors!
