Well, I met with the nurse practitioner today at my nefruologist's office. It's one of those talks that's very emotionally sobering. Talking about the different "mechanics" and "dynamics" of where I'm at within my journey. Fifty-three years is a long time to have awaited the conversation that I had today.
That being said, I would like to say a special Note of gratitude from this ostomate to all of you. Thank you for always being good to each other. Relationships have a delicate balance and at times, they are tested and re-tested just by the sheer circumstances. Finding that delicate balance, holding onto those special dreams that we each hold deep within. Finding our time & place to speak straight from the heart, in a genuine and authentic way. Enjoying the accompiament of social interactions and relations. Finding one's self in another's eyes. Seeing a reflection of that emotional quest for what one's heart has spent a lifetime searching for and then recognizing that personal yearning in another's eyes, heart, spirit and soul. That's the true beauty of being human I believe. Understanding that interconnectedness that ties one's dreams to another's.
Each day I hope to find the true and honest beauty of the journey. For myself and sharing in others' as well. One gracious and precious day at a time.
Thank you again for always being good to each other. That's one of the greatest gifts of being in the human condition. Emotional programming and social conditioning have their time and place in one's journey as well. Looking at TV scoreboard of the journey, finding the true personal victories and sharing those with others... another part of what makes this such a beautiful community.
From my heart to yours...a special piece of my heart, spirit & soul will always be here in this amazing and wonderous ostomate family. Thank you for having taught me that because it wasn't that many years ago, that because of past relationships, I was wasn't going to do emotional attachments again. My Mother had passed on and may she rest in peace today, she had had a tough life, that resulting in the fallout that I and her other kids dealt with over the years. After the last six years though, emotional attachments are such a magical gift.
