Every life situation has two prominent points. Points in which we seem to remember the most,
like quotation marks in a book they mark the beginning and the end. Sometime the middle is somewhat of a blur
with only bits and pieces remembered and sometimes remembered differently by
all involved.
Today will mark
the end of Julie’s battle with cancer.
Last week she had her last treatment.
Today she has the power port removed.
For those of you who don’t know, the port is placed in the body so that the
patient doesn't look like a pin cushion during a time there is a need to put
chemicals into or take blood out of the body repeatedly in a short period of
time.
This is also the
end of the year. Christmas is upon us
and soon after that the calendar will flip and we will be rushing headlong into
2014. Most every ending has a beginning
that follows soon after for better or worse our lives are filled with beginning
and endings. Many of them overlapping
and taking focus from others.
If you are like
me you find yourself anxiously awaiting and yearning for the end of a time just
so you can experience the next. What I find
is that the anticipation for the end also takes away from enjoying the
middle. The middle is where the meat
is. The middle is what really
counts. If there is one thing I have
learned this past year it is to live every day as if it were your last.
Enjoy the Middle!
