After surviving what could have led to my demise, a few months back, I have decided to focus more on the day at hand, rather than reminiscing about the past. The past cannot be changed and whether dwelling on the glory days or regretting the days clothed in shame, I face the day at hand, feeling unburdened by what has been.
So today there is nothing exciting happening in my little nook of the world. Thanks to daylight saving time, I now have to wait another hour for dawn so I can embark on my one hour pilgrimage, seeking a maintenance of my current health profile, that after testing, recent surgery, and therapy, boast those beautiful words, "cancer free." Those of you that have had cancer, can relate to the beautiful melody of those words. It is an exhilaration beyond what words can describe.
On one recent visit, my doctor inquired about my heritage. She emphasized the point that certain races and ethnic groups have inherited traits that may lead to certain problems being more prevalent. Although my American and Canadian Indian heritage is only 20%, it does mesh with certain weaknesses that my DNA exhibits. Realizing these weaknesses, makes certain warning signs of more importance than they would have been had I not known. Sometimes I miss the smoke signals because of all the clouds.
