Perception

It feels as though I am living on the edge of perception, partially due to the concoction of medications I consume, and partially due to the uncertain mystique of the disease. Not one of us really knows what our future holds so there is no need for me or anyone else to be dramatic about this mystery.

A few people have asked me to share the story of my "journey" and it seems overwhelming at times. The story changes daily or it stalls for a week or so and is not so interesting for most of the part.

My goal is to fill each day with some fun, usefulness, lots of love and to hold my family near and dear. Isn't that what we should all be doing?

Thank you to my wonderful husband, kids and sisters for all of your help and support. I am feeling pretty good and very optimistc these days and I plan to be around for a long while.

It has been a struggle to get over not being able to do all that I have in the past. I have come to terms with it and try to accept all of your kind offers. I am a Hope girl though and more headstrong than I realized. I perform the most menial tasks that take me a ridiculous amount of time yet I feel triumphant when I do.

I hope to be consistent here, but that is not my strong point. Really?

More exciting posts to follow so consider yourselves warned.

Love you all.

  5. Oh my gosh...why haven't I been checking the Sisters blog. Diane, I feel like I am just sitting across the table from you listening to you talk. I too love, love, love the way you put words together. I will check the blog often to hear what my sisters and niece too have to say. I too will write some soon. I love you all.
