August 7, 2012 - Resting and Waiting

 

Seems that’s what my life is about right now.  Resting and waiting.

Not that I’m complaining.

Well, maybe I do need a wee piece of cheese with my whine. 

We now have an updated surgery date and time – Monday, August 13 at noon – pending medical clearance from my GP this Friday.

Mentally I’m ready.  Hope my body agrees.

This week I am listening to my little voice.  If it says, “Lie down for a nap,” I give in and do so.  If it says, “Go for a walk,” I take a stroll (except in the heat of the day).

Yesterday morning and this morning I walked just a bit over one mile.  Not my usual two miles and at a much slower pace, but I did it.  Felt darn good, too!

One would think with all this enforced leisure time I would be blogging on a consistent basis and writing.  Goodness knows a second diagnosis of cancer gives one fodder for writing.   

Truth be told, my attention span is a bit short and I simply have a difficult time concentrating on anything other than what business things must be done, TV, reading a short story now and then, surfing the Internet and so forth. 

That’s okay, though.  I’m just going with the flow. 

It’s all part of resting and waiting.

August 1, 2012 - Insecure Writers Support Group

 

 

July and August certainly are not panning out as expected.  What’s that saying?  Something about sharing your plans with The Universe and then watch it step back and laugh?

Emergent appendectomy and subsequent cancer diagnosis have captured my attention and energy (physical and spiritual) since my IWSP July post.  When I’m not dealing with the physical or business (i.e., personal paperwork, insurance) aspects of this unexpected presence in my life, I am focused on spending blissful time with Dave and  Maggie. 

Just shows you how your life can change in a heartbeat.

So it dawned on me as I was surfing the Web during the predawn hour just now – wow, it’s almost time for another IWSGP post!

Am I insecure about my writing?  Hell no.  At this point, if I wanted to find something to be insecure about, I have a variety of choices presenting themselves for selection.  Writing is not exactly at the top of the list these days.

Truth be told, I’m not feeling insecure about much of anything.  My inner strength persona of Sarah Connor has stepped up to the plate, ready to kick butt and take no prisoners.

 

 

Well, okay, I do confess that I have teary/mushy moments now and then, but they are not related to fear or insecurity.  These moments come with the simple joys of walking hand-in-hand with Dave, hugging and playing with Maggie, during phone conversations with friends, and so on.

Nope, that’s not insecurity. 

That’s just loving Life.
