One More Sleep!

Well the count down reminds me of Christmas and it might be. It really depends what my doctors find when they do some exploring tomorrow and open up the "package". Hopefully it will be good news and they can remove the "monster" completely.

I had a great day yesterday. It is amazing what can happen when I am just a bit proactive and meet with people. I had wonderful meeting with a friend of mine who is also battling his own monster. JC has a wonderful attitude on life and his current situation. He is a true inspiration for a person like me.

After my AM coffee meeting with JC, I went to my office to celebrate 30 years of company service for a friend of mine. However, I was very surprised. The folks at the office also gave me a "get well collage" and a inspiration book. The collage was full of picture of the past 4 years and brought back great memories. This was wonderful and it certainly uplifted my spirit to a new level. What was most interesting and very touching was looking into people eyes as they spoke to me or offered me a hug. It seems when the "going gets tough" people REALLY care. My God, I was looking into peoples souls and I knew they were concerned for me and "A". That is such a nice feeling and I owe you guys so much. All I can say is THANK YOU; THANK YOU and THANK YOU.

In the evening, I also had the opportunity to be a speaker at the Downtown Dartmouth Group meeting. This was another gift. I was able to share my past and present; what it was like, what happened and what it is like now. When ever I do this and share from the heart, I most certainly get closer to the Higher Power. For a moment last night, it was OK that I was sick. It actually would have been OK if that was the last thing I ever did (I know "A" won't like this). I was in a state of Serenity; that precious commodity when I feel OK with my life. Thank you every one for giving me this gift!

I just received a phone call. I have to check into the VG - Halifax Hospital tomorrow at 10:45 AM. What an adventure!
