My birthday is coming up soon, and I wonder if I will see another one. Last year, I did a pushup for every year plus one, in case I couldn't do that this year. This year I will use my extra pushup.
Cancer adds an intensity of awareness to life. It emphasizes its brevity and its moment-by-moment value. And gratitude and tolerance come easier. Shams and drama are easier to ignore. Use of remaining time, is a more discerning endeavor. I am not afraid to do nothing but sit and pray or just relax in nature. Things to do are still with me, but letting things go comes much easier.
Being alone is often sought, although I have experienced through many days and nights of hardship and pain, that I am never alone. God is with me. It's Emanuel, all over again, like at Christmas, "God is with us." And I am glad of that, that "resurrection, that truth and the life" that I believe and place my assurance in, now and evermore.
