A Different Kind of Journey!

Life is full of surprises. Sometimes good, like an unexpected bonus from work, or a pregnancy that was not planned (I had one of those and she is a blessing) or a new love in your life, something you would have never thought that could happen to you. But sometimes surprises are not so good. Bad news from your doctor of a diagnosis. A loved one suffering from a new health symptom. A break up from a friendship or a relationship.

This is a different type of journey I am on, something that I am usually quiet about. However, I feel it is important as we will need some medical attention in our lives someday. Join me as I write a story of each day leading up to the procedure and what the results were!

Can You Return???

Have you ever wished you can go back in time and change things, have a different type of life? Maybe it could be going to college when you did not, choosing a different spouse or best friend, a better job, a different city to live in or something else? Maybe. But then, would it show discontent if we wished things were different? Would you be satisfied?
