I woke up thinking about those things in my life I’ve waited for in great anticipation. This thought grew to a collage filled with flash images of the deaths of my parents, graduating from college & graduate school, earning my ranger tab & airborne wings, the birth of my kids & grandkids, and next steps in my cancer journey. Somewhere along the way in my 66 years I’ve learned life happens and an acceptance that I am not the author of everything I experience. Nepo writes about the “gift of surprise” and how our capacities to be open to the unexpected allow life learnings, which are nudges from God. Be with me today as I take my first step in my new cancer treatment path.
