The Bear grows fumble-footed.

I have finished the last of my chemotherapy treatments and now it is a waiting game to see how long it takes for my blood counts to return to normal.
The process has been agonizingly slow. My concerns of late have had more to do with mental rather than physical challenges. Seven months of daily doubt, wonder and an unending variation of complications has dented my perspective and spirit. Hope, meditation, and prayer have been my surest allies.
For the Holiday Season, I offer you all hope meditation and prayer when the world, or just another individual, poses a threat to your serenity.
It is a time of rebirth, moving from darkness to light and remembering that your “To Do” list is not nearly as important as your “To Be” list.
