Ready to Get Zapped
I have enjoyed my last week of freedom from treatment and now I'm ready for the next phase. A while ago I did a gratitude list and I feel the urge for another, so here goes:
1. Time and again, friends express their love and concern for me. These are old friends who drop me a line by email and new friends I have met since this odyssey began. I am grateful to all of them.
2. I was in a yarn shop today drinking in the colours and textures and feeling very lucky that I live in a safe country and have the means to go shopping for lovely things.
3. I rediscovered Beethoven this week. One doesn't lose lovely music entirely, but one can forget to enjoy it often.
4. Some of my roses are blooming. The one climbing rose that died still sits in my garden forlornly, but even in death it is a reminder of what I shall do next spring -- plant another!
5. I heard voices this week on family tapes made more than two dozen years ago. I smiled and even cried to hear dear people who have died or are very far away.
6. Some mornings I wake up with aches and pains or a complete lack of ambition, but hey, I wake up!
