The never ending saga

There are times when I feel like this journey will continue forever- and there are times when I know this phase will complete and the show will go on.

For one thing, I begin to visualize a future without visiting the hospital or some other clinic on a regular basis. I see a trip or two in the next six months. I begin to picture how I might stay involved with the world on a more regular basis, in a more giving way in the future.

June and July will continue to be about me, my physical health and well being; therefore my emotional and spiritual health as well. Hopefully my drain will come out by the end of this month; that will be a huge milestone. By then my radiation burns will also be healed- at least on the surface, and I will be able to move and dance the Nia Technique more easily, with more balance, as the body’s way demands. I'll be fully immunized and will feel more comfortable socializing in person.

I plan to take my mom to Vermont for the month of August to escape the heat of the summer here in NC. I don’t have exact plans for our time there, except to watch the flowers grow, sip wine, eat good food and window shop in the nearby towns. Hopefully we will be able to spend a little quality time with cousins we haven’t been able to see for quite some time. If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to join an in-person class or two along the way.

Then in November I plan a trip to Scotland (fingers crossed) with my amazing husband, who has supported me in body, mind, emotions and spirit, all these months. It was his journey, too.

In between all those trips and plans, I continue to learn, learn, learn, about myself and the Nia Technique and philosophy; I have a project or two in mind and underway.

Stay tuned.
