It's been another year - and one that has been certainly in turmoil!
Election Year: As a nation we are more polarized than ever before (although each generation has thought that with each election we've had). The left blames the right, and the right blames the left, and a bunch of folks are just bewildered at all of this. They are fed up, disgusted, disappointed in the whole election system that our forefathers fought to put in place - the one thing that separates us from many other countries on this spinning globe of a planet.
Health: Stints. Two of them. In my heart. Lifestyle changes for sure. I'm just grateful that my Dr realized that Cardiac Rehab and me needed to be together, to teach and encourage changes to my lifestyle that will enable me to live hopefully much longer.
But nothing will be the same again. I carry nitro with me in a little brown bottle. I take medication morning and evening for the rest of my life. I carry a card that says I have metal in my heart. I have a label.
At least I still breathe and think and feel. Much better than the alternative.
Family: One sister north, another sister west, another sister south. The family, as it grows slowly grows geographically further apart. One nephew out of country, another niece in Georgia. Yes, growing outwards.
Myself: Working hard on heading out myself. After 18 years to live with my husband in the same house, in the same state.
So all told life will be good. This past year has brought many many changes, and there are many more ahead in the new year.
Happy Samhain everyone!
