I have just experienced a brief but serious medical scare (one of those heart-stopping calls in which they say they need to follow up on a little something they noticed in your routine screening), and am still weak with relief that the worries proved to be nothing.
As such things often do, it’s put the world back into clearer perspective for me, and I’m grateful for that. Almost worth the days of anxiety to have this renewed discernment about what’s important and what’s not!
We’re off to Costa Rica next week, a different sort of vacation for our family — we usually go to Europe and look at churches and paintings, but we’re doing eco-tourism in CR, a complete switch. Sloths and monkeys! Coffee plantations and volcanoes! The Pacific!
All this and my health too — I’m a lucky woman, and lucky to KNOW it.
