Back to Life
So the last couple of months have been sort of a kick in the teeth and yet have had such glorious moments to them as well. Basically acting like life really does for me - huge ups and low lows all happening at the same time. And time passes now at a speed I find dizzying... it seems mere moments ago that it was summer and here I am in gloves and coat.
Growing older has changed everything for me. I just can't take life for granted anymore. That brush with cancer has changed everything in my life, and yet nothing at all has changed. I'm myself and yet not myself all at the same time. And as if screwing up my life wasn't enough, it had to tackle my family some more. Cancer sucks.
But, in the midst of all the chaos, I also got the promotion that everyone has been saying I deserved for years. Joy and fear wrapped up into the pretty package of Life. At least now, I see it clearer than I did before and can see it as Just Life and not tragedy. Time definitely works its magic on perspective.
