Tis’ The Season

Sunday, December 25

 Opening holiday cards, stringing lights, listening to Christmas music and welcoming cookie bearing visitors sure rekindle wonderful childhood memories. Memories also: vividly recalling the sensational feeling of complete relaxation upon finishing final exams at university or submitting end of semester grades when teaching – the exultation of a gigantic burden lifted. Finally, the memories of traveling, sometimes long and far, with the singular focus of being with family, friends and loved ones………..Tis’ The Season.

This year’s season is as cheerful as past years:

• Cards, lights, music, cookies, visitors – Yes!
• A few days of freedom away from the medical system – Yes!
• Physically feeling the best I’ve felt since springtime – Yes!
• Family and friends close-by and Christmas evening festivities at Steve’s house – Yes!

I acknowledge another feeling of connectedness. It is with those physically distant family and friends through technology. Over the last few days the emails, texts, phone calls, videos and blog responses have been remarkably special and have substantially augmented my joy and happiness during the season!

In the midst of this extremely joyful season: I remain eternally grateful for the awesome support while I continue my journey. I look forward to a relaxed day, free from the worries of medical issues – drugs, insurance and treatment speculation. I wish that we all may be cozy and warm while enjoying the special time spent with people we LOVE!

Happiest Days to All!
