Ironically, slower is faster. When we lived hard and fast in fifth gear we would drop at the ends of days, weeks, months. We would frequently wonder, "What happened this year?" <br /><br />Well, we aren't running much now. We are embracing a simpler, slower life. Wonderful things are happening.<br /><br />Our relationships are richer. Chats with our kids are more real, heart felt, joyful. The internal pressure to push hard has lost its hold on us. Our humor has returned. We've laughed more in the last two months (and cried more) than in the last two years.<br /><br />Cancer, the life stealer, has become a life giver. Go figure. <br /><br />Thank you God for this ugly disease. We are becoming more beautiful as a result.<br /><br />-Dennis and Vivien<br /><br />P.S. God, please take this despicable disease away. We know, we know. We're full of contradictions.juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15249278444141713936noreply@blogger.com
