Today I was pondering on the topic and it came to me doing something I enjoy doing…lying in bed half awake, half a sleep…funny how much clarity and perspective can happen during in that time. For today I am filled with thoughts about love and the many ways of love. Not the stuff written about in paperback books but the many ways we experience love.
So as of late I have started seeing my vision of life and I love it…yes I can give back for all the wonderful things that life has offered me. This week I had a routine check up with my oncologist and he made comment about what a miracle it was that I was here and doing so well. He actually used the term remission for the first time and this made me pause and think about how wonderful it is that I am doing so well. To go from stage 4 cancer to remission in a year and change is a wonderful thing ! I got thinking that at the same time as I was getting such news things were shaping up in the directions that I want and I had an “Ah Ha “ moment and thought I am truly loving life !!! Just one of the many ways I love life.
This week I also met with the great people that work for Cancer Patient Care and I am really excited to be helping out with them as well as I found out that I can get some of my education credits by volunteering there. I am really excited and I feel like this will be an association that will help me with my journey in education. I suspect that the connections I am making now there will bring be connections down the road to employment with social work and cancer patients. A score in my world and again I am loving it !!!!
This week also was great in terms of my work with the LGBT Center and I also feel that will be a resource that will bring me connections for future use. I am so loving the work I am doing and the good that will come from that. I was part of the crew yesterday to start the parade float. I am so excited to see that become some thing and am looking forward to helping turn nothing into something visible and something that will help spread the word. I also have stepped up to be help with volunteer coordination. I am looking forward to taking on that challenge and turning a process in to a well oiled process. Its exciting to see baby steps and knowing that I am helping shape something good. I also attended a great workshop on racial discrimination this week presented by progress Spokane. It felt good to learn and to network with other like minds. Getting my name out there as a represented of the center was awesome too. This week I also committed to getting certified with video editing as a part of the community television station here and am looking forward to helping produce some promotional videos for The center, Equality Spokane, Destinations, and what ever else I find in that arena. I miss being involved with video and television and this will be an inroad to that again. So all and all I am loving this new lease on life !!!
This week I have reflected on how special my friends and family are. It’s the little things that mean the world to me. I get such a charge off the comments made on facebook and so enjoy the conversations I am having with them on the phone. I am so blessed and loving life to the fullest. Wow I am blessed and I will never forget or take advantage of it !! You all inspire me so much !!!
I want to touch on some sadness this week. This week a dear person left us. Gordon Wakefield is the dad of my best friend and was dear friend of mine. Recently his health turned and somehow that storm was weathered. Well Gordon you are going to be missed and the world is not the same with out you. My heart goes out to the family during this time. My step son Joshua is progressing great after open heart surgery. He is home recovering nicely. TO my friend RIchard I send continued sunshine thoughts as he starts new directions in his life and I hope that some good comes his way. Hang in there my friend its your year too !!! For my friend Shawn my thoughts and prayers continue as you deal with your mom’s post stroke affects. I know you are being tested in ways that are not fun and know I am here for you !! I also am sending prayers and good thoughts to Eunice and Curtis as Curtis continues to deal with a ruptured disk in his back. Get well soon we need you up and back to your glorious self !!!
Its been a great week and I am so loving it…Yes my dating life is also going great…. Lets just say that I am seeing someone very special and wonderful and he makes me smile
Life is awesome…go out live it and Love it !!!!
