Nothing exciting!

Yesterday, other than working on my bathroom(which was today's major activity as well), I took my grandson to the high school wrestling banquet because they recognized the incoming eigth graders for next year. He was pleased to be able to go as his parents were not available to take him.

No news on the medical front, but we are looking forward to going to the Bone Marrow Transplant Surviver Symposium this Saturday and Sunday. It should be interesting and I'll pass on anything of merit that crops up. One thing that I've learned through all of this is that I still have a lot to learn. Fighting leukemia and it's aftermath is the major activity of a small subculture that exists right under our noses and we don't even know it. Certainly this is true of many, many other diseases as well and we are just oblivious to it. It's good that we don't have to experience it but we should be aware that it exists and how it affects other people's lives.

There are many people fighting battles that we don't know about and there are many more people who do all that they can to help these people fight those battles. I don't want to call them all heroes but I do want to say that they do go above and beyond the call of duty.

As for me, I choose to forget all that stuff and just proceed apace to do the things that need to be done around the house and elsewhere. No reason to dwell on the past as it won't change it and no reason to worry about the future because I can't control it.

Enough pontificating for one day...
