Ohhhh Chuck .. . I've learned that timing is really all that matters.  Interestingly enough my last two weeks have not been perfect either.  I've lost my job, my back is acting up and I've had to take up using my cane to just get around the house.  Luckily my former employer has agreed to keep my health insurance going for 18 months., and I have to contribute towards it, but atleast I've got something.  I'm not old enough for Medicare. . . not for another two years. . . Have a lot of prescription bills because of the Diabetes, asthma, and others. . . oh well. .  don't mean to sound like I'm griping. .  it's all relative. . . and not much fun.  Then I open up my mail and there is a note from our Marla. ..  hearing about her miraculous trip throughout the USA. . . having seen her once again was soooooooooooo great.  Her smile could power the world .  . she, with help from the other survivors I've met, has kept me going. . . during the dark days of my battle with the monster.. . then and still . . . inspire me to be curious to see what is yet to happen.  To renew our spirits. . by keeping in touch. . knowing that we are connected by this life, sharing hope and knowledge that there is more to life. 

 

Take care. . . keep the light burning. . .
