Unexpected Journey Thoughts

I saw the doctor today ... it was not as easy or wonderful as I was hoping it would be. He first of all read my hospital discharge diagnosis ... that was rather frightening and sobering. He then went on listing the things that would need to happen in the  weeks ahead. Specialists, testing, monitoring, rest and working hard to not ever find myself here again.


I came out of the appointment tearful but knowing that there is a lot of work ahead for me, I also can still see the possibility of complete recovery and that is something to hang onto. I have a feeling that it will be challenging to focus on the goal and not the process as I continue to journey through this.


In spite of my fears, tiredness and illness, I remain convinced that this journey has important things for me. There are things to learn about myself, about God and about the people around me. I think these will be days of new growth and understanding as I walk the path ahead. Though this journey might be unexpected ... it can still be a blessing.


Now will my heart and my attitude be willing to embrace this?
