This past week has been really incredible.
Cathy has gotten up at 8 AM, fixed her breakfast and trotted off to work, all on her own. The house has been unnaturally quiet and the dogs and I find ourselves napping quite a bit until Cathy comes home from work. Then she takes a nap for about 2 hours. She’s even eating full meals at dinner.
Our day-to-day life is getting back into it’s previous habits.
However, it will never be the same. Our perspectives have been altered. Our priorities sharpened and our lives, more focused. The challenges now are how to take these new lessons we’ve been given and to incorporate them into a world view that brings us more joy and meaning. We have come to take nothing and no one for granted anymore. It’s scary and liberating at the same time.
Cathy and I can’t even begin to articulate what your support has meant to us along this journey’s path. My hope is that you all have come away with a new sense, too, about life and what is important. The kind gesture, encouraging comments and spirit of your love has enveloped us at the precise time when we needed it the most. We are eternally grateful for each and every one of you.
As Cathy continues to heal and gain strength, perhaps the messages on this blog aren’t as urgent. Some people have expressed regret that Cathy’s wholeness will mean the end of it. BUT! We don’t have to wind it down or leave it behind. We can continue on with it. As administrator, I can change some of the features and the design of the graphics. As long as you all are willing to participate, this blog can morph into whatever it will be. I propose keeping it going. What do you all think?
Many happy thanks for your latest.
Heartiest congratulations to both of you for getting through thus far! I wish you well and sufficient success in most things! Love to you, Bob Smith
I say, yes, keep the blog going. It’s great to hear from everyone via it. Plus, I’m curious about what your journey will be now, Beth, since you aren’t needed to be the chief nurse, chauffeur, cheerleader, cook, dog walker, scheduler, grocery shopper, etc., etc., etc. anymore.
Love to both of you,
Terry
Hey gals, It’s so great to read the latest and greatest news!!! I say, keep the blog going. It’s a wonderful way to check up on you guys.. and bethy girl it will keep your mind and fingers busy;) wishing you both the best…xoxoxo
So, Beth, honey, when are you going to start dragging your butt out of bed in the morning and join the work-a-day world?
Did SHE put you up to that?
Nope, thought of that one all by myself.
As for keeping the blog going, perhaps the name could be changed from “Journey to Wellness” to something snappier. Given all the pictures that get posted, maybe it could be called “Facebook” …
Bozo, you are on a run, smarty pants brother.
I say yes! It’s already added to my RSS feed, anyway. :-P
