Dear Life, Stage Four Lymphoma asks me to make many adaptations. Forget those long lists of “to do’s” and going everywhere with everyone. My energy and time are valued assets and what happens in a day aligns with wonder, awe, and the extraordinary essentials: loving life, connection with family, friends and you, self-care, attending to medical needs, creative and spiritual practices, being of service in manageable ways, working on projects, short grocery lists (I love to cook fresh meals) and being n the flow of the day. This morning I looked at my nesting vases on a kitchen counter and felt happy. Fresh flowers, good coffee, wonder walks. Laughter and tears melding into one. Acceptance of what is. I am a mutating human body having a daily spiritual experience.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
