Uncertainty aplenty remains for me when looking ahead to my future.
And these holidays with Tina home from work, my inlaws staying with us, and many friends and family around I feel insulated from the future. Most of each day I feel protected by layers upon layers of soft white cotton emanating healing white light with some heat while protecting me from the unwanted sounds of an uncertain future begging and yapping at my ears. It's a cocoon that Tina and I put quite a bit of effort building this holiday season to give ourselves a break and to also re-create for us what Christmas used to be about. Spending time with friends and family in good health with plenty of good holiday cheer. A chance to set life back on the rails after the majority of the last six Christmas' being interrupted by surgeries and hospital stays. So, so far (knock on wood) these holidays have been a true blessing for the both of us. For me I notice a much greater ability to take life one day at a time. When I do get into comparing myself to what life used to be like I more often than not use the new normal as the benchmark instead. The new normal where I am recovering from nine surgeries and giving my digestive system and body time to heal from those violent and yet neccessary acts. Inside this cocoon I notice yet again that it is quality time with friends and family plus myself allowing me to live one day, one week at a time that allows me to stay connected and comforted within the walls of this cocoon.
