I love to embrace my life with both feet on the pedal, to awaken and “smell the coffee” and get the day going. It is not easy to have to face the reality that some germs can hold me hostage. No ransom to pay, I am just a prisoner until back to myself. I missed Aladdin, the school play where my two granddaughters were performing; serving at the Soup Kitchen twice; dinners with friends; writing at the computer; and the list goes on. Some of what I missed was mundane, and some I will never have an opportunity to revisit.
