As I was reading I was nodding. Up until a few weeks ago I was there, I was waiting for the lightening bolt to hit me. The one that would supply me the clarity and energy to pursue all those good deeds that I am supposed to launch myself into. I have made the adjustments that I hope will lead to a healthier me. Now I was trying to work out what adjustments will lead me to the "new" me. During chemo I consumed the Spooks and NCIS series, along with a million words from my favourite espionage and crime writers, surely I have picked up some sleuth like skills by osmosis that will help me solve the problem.........or not.
And then a few weeks ago I came across a passage when reading a cancer survivors story. And the words resonated with me. " I used to work and think that time was money. Time is not money. Time is everything."
So, deep breath, time is everything. I can work with this. No lightening bolt needed just time. I'm now thinking that in my own time I will discover my new life course, make any adjustments that I need to, resume what I want to from my pre treatment days. No doubt it wont happen fast enough for me there are bound to be days when I will want the lightening bolt. But it is good to know that there are others who are taking time too.
Onwards we go to the next version of ourselves.
