New normal

There is no new medical information lately. That is good. We attempt to get "back to normal," however, a new normal will need to be drawn. It is always there. One year ago, we had no idea this chapter would be written. Dale quietly was sliding down the cancer trail, and my patience wore thin for want of better answers than, "I don't feel up to it. I am tired." Now we know. And although, there is a clean bill of health now, we know it was, we know it may come back, we know remission can be short, and we know the battle is tough. For now, though, the new normal includes: 

Faith

Hope

Charity

Gratitude

Kindness

Gentleness

Understanding

Forgiveness

Patience

May we be granted many years ahead building and practicing our new normal.
