So my Labor Day holiday from the blog turned into a weeklong break. And it was nice, actually. I've mentioned before that sometimes blogging only serves to remind me of my cancer and treatment. Taking a break is good for me every once in a while.
Just to give you a quick update.... I had a great week. I was able to meet with my classes at CBC and see my students and coworkers. My energy level was good and I was able to get out of the house to do some normal things, including making a trip to On The Border (the best restaraunt around) and a movie in Little Rock on Friday night.
I've been gearing up for Monday when I will begin round 4 of chemotherapy. This will mark the half-way point of my treatment!
I have several blog posts percolating in my head, and I imagine I will be writing nearly every day while I'm in the hospital. Thanks for staying tuned!
Introduction
Welcome to “Nothing New.” The goal of my blog in the past has been to stimulate discussion about all things related to CBC, the Christian life, and the world at large. But it has recently been hijacked by my cancer and treatment. This means I have to eat some crow (which I hate) because early on I boldly claimed I would not allow my condition to take center stage in my life.
But it is taking center stage on my blog – for a while. I am rather torn about this development. I am uncomfortable making this all about me – because it’s not. It is strangely therapeutic for me to blog about this, however, and I cannot express even a fraction of my appreciation for everyone who reads and leaves their funny, weird, and /or encouraging words in comments and emails.
So please join with me in dialogue. I always look forward to reading your comments. (If you'd like to follow my cancer journey from day 1, please go to my post on 6/25/08 - Life Takes Guts - in the archives and follow the posts upwards from there.)
