Back to the Grind ...

The past couple of weeks have been very busy and I haven't had the opportunity to keep up with my blogging. Within a 7 day period, I have returned to the Great Province of Saskatchewant twice and made a offer to purchase on a 20 years old home that is worth an equivalent of 4,000 m of installed gas line pipeline in Nova Scotia. What I am trying to say ... the cost surprized me (and depressed me). I guess the people are just finding out that Regina is a nice place to live.

During all the excitement of the move situation, I have used my medical situation (recovery from the monster) as a touchstone bring myself back to reality. All the excitement, fear and dispair that is associated with a long distant move is just process. What really counts for me is living in the present space I occupy; this means I have been working "hard" to stay in the day, the hour, the minute. When I do this, everything is fine. When we were at the bank arranging for the mortgage details, I realized that I am no longer a good bet for life insurance. The monster seems to impact my life in many ways; some good and some bad!

With all this being said, there werw a couple suttle awakings that occured when I was in Regina. I went to see me grandkids and found out, they also need to make adjustments to the move back to Regina. They were a mad at "A" and I at first, but they warmed up to us when we visited the second time. Everything is OK when I am with them. Little do they know that they, the grandkids, are part of my future vision; the reason for my being; my search for meaning.

They give me a reason to do the little things that help me recover and get me motivated to keep up my exercise schedule. Thank you Dustin, Demetrius, Bohdan and Aaliyah!
