Light Speed

cjpatterson02

In the blink of an eye, the months have whisked by. This last year has been a difficult one for my family and myself. No matter how badly I wished to slow down the march of time, it feels like it retaliates by speeding up.

Within four months, we have lost not one, but two cherished family members. Somedays we feel like we are operating in a suspended state of disbelief, unsure if this is real. But inevitably a small reminder will pop up, the subsequent waive of grief will surge, threatening to drag us under.

To top this all off, I sustained a significant head injury in the summer. As a result I've been notably and I hope, excusably absent from my platform. Over time and with the assistance of therapy, I've fought my way back to overcome this set back.

Lastly, I'm relieved to say, after years of waiting, I've finally received my reconstructive surgery on my wrist. Consequently, I have limited use of my right hand and find myself typing this with left hand.

So as I've explained to my family, no mater what task I undertake, I will proudly state, I accomplished it 'single handedly'.

Remember, if life gives you lemons, you can still make lemonade. (Unless its in a can, because a can opener is decidedly a two-handed task.)


Until next time - C
