Fighting off Normal

Doing pretty well lately. I've been trying to work out, but I am in a great deal of bone and nerve pain for a couple of days after, so I have to be extremely patient and slow with my workouts. I'm teaching summer school and putting a lot of energy into building some class curriculum. It feels great to be active and living "normally." However, I have to be cautious of slipping into a numbing sense of normal. I forget daily that I have cancer still. Never for a second do I doubt a full recovery from it next year. Sounds great right? Well, actually, I hate it. I liked the way I was living and thinking when death seemed right around the corner. I have to train myself to approach my days as such.

Hope you are all well.

Nice to hear from you. I agree that we should live as death may be around the corner. It keeps the priorities straight. Looking forward to the progress. My prayers will continue for you.

I dont know if we have to believe or fear that death is chasing us in order to be thankful for every day we are given. So, what is it that should be motivating us?
