Life Stuff


Life is up and down. I got my check-up with my specialist this week, and the news isn't totally bad, but not totally good, either. Doc doesn't think I have anything cancerous, but I do go in for minor surgery again sometimes within the next month or two (waiting for a date). It's hard not to get down or too anxious. But I have very supportive family and friends. It's a strange feeling though, knowing if it weren't for medical science and an unfortunate but synchronistic chain of events, that I might be dead by now, or at least very sick. But I remind myself of that phrase "You were born for such a time as this", adapted from a biblical verse in the book of Esther. Meaning, for whatever reason, I am here. Actually, so many of us are here because of being rescued, in one way or another. I am back to this mixed feeling of gratefulness and the shock of mortality. I'm gonna be sure to really live out what is in my heart.
