Life With Cancer...Cont.

So, I haven't posted in awhile and you can be assured that means things are going pretty well for me. I should probably post on here more often and keep people a little better updated about my health, but oh well. Transitioning back into a daily routine is a little strange. My energy is probably about 90% and I am feeling good about the work I am getting done. I still have days where my energy seems really low, but hopefully those will continue to decrease in frequency.

I am not sure how to handle the anxiety that is present. I am trying hard to deal with it constructively, but I am really not sure the best approach. I also think alot about the many blessings that were offered to me over the past year. I am humbled knowing that not everyone has those opportunities. In short, I have difficulty facing the "why me" of such blessings, support, and opportunities. Not to mention the largest "why me" related to my positive response to treatment. I don't dwell on these to a point of being unhealthy, but they are contextual questions about life that I am not sure I understand.

I did have a chance to spend the weekend with some young adults from Hale County Alabama this weekend at the Sawyerville Leadership College. This is a program with the school of social work where selected high school students visit the University and participate in a Leadership Workshop assisting them in building knowledge and gaining experience in leadership, team building, and program development and evaluation. This was my second year being involved and I am really glad to participate in the program.

Anyway, it is August so that means only one thing....FOOTBALL!!! Exhale! I hope everyone is doing well.

Peace
Josh
