And everything changes…maybe
Something interesting has happened. An opportunity has come open after more than a year of effort and I am moving forward on it. I can’t say much yet, but this opportunity has the chance to change everything. There’s something to be said for life-changing events. Even the ones people think are life changing, but really aren’t, like my cancer. I never really felt that having cancer changed my life much. It was a major inconvenience and my life was changed during the treatment process, but now that it’s basically over, I am returning to the way things used to be. I’m playing trumpet again, even played in a concert this past weekend. I’m doing pretty well with work although the fatigue still affects me. And I definitely want to gain more weight, I’m down to 170 and want to get back to about 185.
But when you look at everything, on balance, this will be a minor blip in my life, something that had a beginning, an end, and had a limited effect on me. What is happening now could change everything from here on in. Now that’s a major change. If it actually happens the way I want and hope it will. And so I contemplate a future where everything is different. It’s an exciting possibility and we will have to spend the next month waiting to see how things progress. I will, however, accept best wishes for the successful opportunity coming forward. Let’s make this happen!
