Journal entry by Bruce Johansson

Happy ‘What a Summer’ Checking in to reflect over last two years since diagnosis- late stage multiple myeloma cancer plus 2 smashed vertebrae. 
It’s a heavy load to take in and then launch into a whole bunch of decisions about how to proceed.
The first decision is asking how much you want to continue living. After that it’s a piece of cake.
I like being alive, there is the curiosity of what comes next. Well made it through the whole episode and doing good as I can and now Covid.
 Now into my 2nd year of quarantine. I was really looking forward to circulation but that has been difficult. Also the political turmoil. I’m really excited to be around to vote. Democracy is where I’m at. Judy Rossi passed away and Joe did everything a good husband can do. RIP Judy- a wonderful person who was a big inspiration when First arrived at Hope Lodge. Others I’m hopeful are doing well. Of course Mary has been the constant, the phrase “having someone in your corner”.
We are in historic times, keep your eyes open, heart healthy, good luck
Your support is strengthening and appreciated.
