The cancer's gone, so what's next. What do I do now? I know
I do not have to make a "bucket list" so I think I'll concentrate on
my "to do" list. I have put
off some really important things since the C-crap entered my life. So here goes:
Clean the garage, do all the gardening I have put off (now that the rain
has stopped), start a real fitness program (I have said this for five
years), return to the Y tai chi, keep
writing this blog (I will find things to say), stop spending so much time in
front of the computer, make a will, learn to play the ukulele (well, maybe),
learn how to use my cell phone and figure out all the frustrating intricacies
of facebook. I guess I am returning to
the real world. During the cancer
treatments I often had strange feelings of isolation and that I was watching my
life as a spectator and really not participating. I felt that I was in some
kind of drifting shell looking out a window fully cognizant of what was going
on (even when driving) but somehow detached from everything. Now I am re-attaching and not living in the shell
anymore. It’s great to be back!

Hi Bill-
What a special treat to read your fabulous news while sitting by Lake Louise in Canada - if you haven't been here, you really should add it to your list right ahead of cleaning ou the garage! So very, very happy for you.

Its great to have you "back". A few years ago I remembered our mother saying I should "take time to smell the roses" once and a while. So I planted the brightest, smelliest, red rose bush at the front gate. I have to pass it to get in and out. And when it's in bloom I stop and breath it in every day. Sweet.
It was great to read the excellent news in your recent postings, Bill!
Hope you won't forget to include in your to-do list: "practice for petanque tournament".

Hi Bill,
So glad that Tai Chi is on your "to do" list. We all look forward to seeing you and have saved your spot! If you'd like some Tai Chi rehab, let me know and I'll come over to your house and nag you there! You can run but you cannot hide!
