The last couple weeks I’ve been focused on whether I can get back to where I was physically. I think I’ve now realized I’m in better condition than I thought I would be, but today on my walk I was suddenly back to, ‘I can’t believe I’m here’.
I’m pretty sure it was the doctor appointment earlier this week. As I was leaving the office, I realized it for what it was, a place you go once you recognize you likely have cancer.
As I was walking out one of the staff members who I vaguely recognized, smiled as I walked out and wished me a good day. I remember responding “I’m having a great day”. I knew I was healing as expected, maybe even a little better and I was walking out the door with a wonderful future to look forward to.
My walk this morning reflected that perspective. I noticed the flowering trees, their fragrance, the new baby leaves just popping out of their winter shell, and even though I started later, the traffic just didn’t matter.
Oh, it’s so good to be alive and healthy!!
