Ah, you offer us so much, brother. In your words, I hear these: “Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise so I am changing myself.” Rumi
I treasure our connection of living through our medical challenges and also how you continue to seek meaning, love, joy and gratitude no matter what is happening. I know that you might feel fluid and shifting right now, but I clearly see your unshakable heart, full of love and wisdom.
I also love how Lisa called this this post A “manual from the heart on how to live life. “ I look forward to the next chapter. ❤️Sue
Life is about love. I hope death is too. Tim did love his smoothie, and his lost desire for them was a telling sign. Tim also appreciated the simple act of washing the dishes and every time I was them now, he is with me.
I feel like this blog is a manual from the heart about how to live life. Grateful for it. Grateful for you, shifting brain and all. On flight to Seoul and thinking about the funny flight we had to Indianapolis. ❤️
I'm super glad to read this update as we've been wondering how radiation/chemo has been going. I look forward to sharing with Jeff later on after work. Definitely interested in your smoothie recipes, but also your post was a perfect nudge, one that I needed to read and hear today, for what people living with tough diagnosis are going through. Each of your journal entries are a gift and I can't be more grateful for you.
This post is especially lucid and wise. My friend, purpose or no, you keep on giving gifts. And maybe - purpose and identity are not the prerequisites for these gifts to come forth. I like your Great Aunt Ruby's discovery, and will try to keep it in heart and mind, among my own shifting purposes and identity. Blessings!
Then there is Aunt Ruby. What beauty.
