Today in Ottawa

Yesterday was a good day. I rarely thought about the monster. The only time it came to mind was when I checked my home message manager. Dr. B's office called and wanted to change my meeting time ... from Tuesday April 10 to April 11. So I will go on Wednesday to see what the next steps will be.

Overall I am feeling not bad except for a few minor pains in my stomach area, which I am attributing to walking and trying to run. One of my goals is to lose weight for the operation. Fat seems accumulate around the prostate area and belly ... surprise, surprise. The goal I was given was to lose 20 to 30 pounds which I find a huge challenge. However, the monster has given me motive!

I am in Ottawa this week enjoying the company of my daughter, son-in-law and other grandson. At the grandson's birthday on Sunday, W and J had their friend's over. For the first time in a long time, I felt my age! These were very young people and they weren't babies!

So today, I will try and enjoy the day as is unfolds. That is one thing this crisis has given me --- the opportunity to look at time as a "present". I hope I will never lose sight of this awakening.
