There are times in your life when all things seem good, and this day is one of them. The cat stayed out all night and fought off the coyotes single handedly, the humidity is down and the MGH. nurses are here. I have been waiting for this visit since the invitation was put forth. Toasting them at a table full of friends, and sitting under the canopy stars at Mac's Shack, I found myself saying " The doctors may have saved Caleb, but these nurses saved mine.." And that is the truth! These young women are dedicated, kind, thoughtful, professional, funny at the right times, and on top of that they are luscious and bodacious. The boys of the beach who gave them all a successful surf lesson yesterday joked about why it really was that Caleb pulled through with this staff peering over him!
We are off sailing today with a cooky professor/sailor friend of mine and then a trip down the streets of PTowne should top off the night.
I am learning to look toward the directions that bring joy. Sounds so simple, but each day I find myself strolling back toward sadness and prying into pain. But now I find I am able to pay more attention to my emotions which vividly act as the barometer to my present moment........ and I am learning to choose differently, just by paying attention and switching my focus.
Today I am grateful for life, for my children, for my well being, for my ability to be joyous and sad, for all of life's lesson which nudge me forward, for all of the people who walk with me ....and for Caleb's lovely nurses. Bless you.
