Where I've been

Another week has begun....my gosh how time flies....it seems like just yesterday I was rushing off to catch the ferry to the mainland...and here we are another week has passed and a new one just waiting to happen.

I have completed yet another week of the rehab program for my shoulder, as I have said in previous posts what doesn't kill you surely must cure you....that's certainly how I feel about this program.

I did a work site assessments with one of the kinesiologist's from the program and then we met with my employer and had a meeting to discuss my return to work. I am looking foward to getting back to work and some normalcy to my life...if you can call shift work being normal.

I am feeling stronger and healthier, all very good signs.

It was my mother in laws birthday the other week and we all went out for dinner....hubbies sister who has been down in California for the past 6 months was there so it was an extra special dinner. I know mother in law was very pleased and happy to have her daughter there.

I gather most of you have noticed that I have not been posting regularly. I thought it was that I was in a slump...but I think it is more than that. I will try to expand on what I mean.

My brother and wife are in Wales on a teacher exchange for a year. In this my brother chose to reignite his blog. He first started out sharing his travels and adventures...and then started to mix in he thoughts on the healing process from losing two of his children. He is an extremely powerful writer. Something I never knew. I am in awe of his writing, his emotions, his command of the English language. I am amazed at what he is able to share...and the way in which he does it. He has this innate ability to draw the reader into his writings, you his feel the pain, it's like you are experiencing life along with him. His Christmas in Ireland, his time in Prague..and his recent travels to Egypt which took him scuba diving in the Nile I think you would really enjoy reading a few of his adventures and journey through dealing with grief...if so you can find him at John's Blog I am sure you won't be disappointed.

So what does this have to do with my frequency of posts? Everything, in reading his posts I realized that my posts lacked substance. I had nothing to say and have often lived by the adage that just don't post for the sake of posting...post when you have something you want or feel you need to share...and as it has been of late I felt I haven't had anything terribly note worthy and as a result I felt that my writing skills would not have the luster and finesse to be post worthy.

I started this post last week, and in reviewing what I wrote I am glad I didn't post it then.

I still feel as I did last week with regards to posting, but after reflection I realized that I will never be able to write like my brother I am me and he is who he is...that is what makes each of us unique and special. So I continue to post.

I start my return to work this week. The pain in my shoulder has not fully receded but it is considerably better, it is my left shoulder I worry about. It really flared up last week, I think I have resolved myself to the fact that is just how it is going to be.

Life has been busy and full, lots to chat about....but I will save that for another day along with photos. Thanks to those of you who sent me emails your thoughtfulness brightened my day!
