Persistent Remission

Friday, I went to Emory Pituitary Center to see the endocrinologist for a review of my most recent labs.  Dr I says that I am still in remission!  Hooray!!! and the most amazing part is that I don't have to come back for 6 months!!!  This is unbelievable, not 6 weeks, not even 3 months, 6 months...half of a year!!!!  This little bit of freedom from these particular Drs suggests to me that I am finally stable.  Since 2003, I have been going to some Doctor every couple of weeks, some more than others.  Of course, I'll follow up with others between now and September but no trips to Emory.  A friend of mine sent me this blessing that is just lovely, and I wanted to bless you with it too.


I'd like to share a blessing; it's the final stanza of 'Beannacht,' a poem I love by John O'Donohue:

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.
