Dear Orna,
I’m so sorry to hear your news but well done youfor reacting in the way you have. Fingers crossed for your treatment. I have recently had to do what you have done (wihtout the cancer, but being ill) and have had to cut right back. As you said, it really makes you appreciate the little things in life. A robin’s song. A breeze on the water. A hug. A smile. The things that really matter. Wishing you all the best.

I am so glad you are in remission. Life has away of teaching us all we can not have ultimate control over our destiny and just as we think we have figured it all out something upsets the apple tree. We are all guilty of taking things for granted.Allow this time to let your body heal. I have an aunt who had cancer over 30 years ago so remission is good.

I think I read this too quickly the first time I read it.

I don’t know what to say.

I thought it was behind you, in your past, I didn’t read it right.

It’s not the past tense…I see that now.

Derek, thanks for the endorsement and for the great review on Blog Catalog — appreciated. Hope your fundraising is going well.

Jayda, you’re right. But maybe not so amazing when you think how much effort we can put into avoiding what’s really going on in our lives while we busy ourselves up with other stuff. Or was that just me?

Thanks for dropping by, André, and look forward to your return. You couldn’t love Ireland more than I love France… voyez-vous bientôt!

Isn’t it amazing that only when our bodies force us to stop do we actually slow down and listen? Illness is never something to be thankful forf, but I understand the benefits that are attached, like getting some rest.

Be blessed.
