Welcome Gnome
2010....My focus word for the year was "Risk". The opportunity to test this was presented on January 1 2010 when a friend needed me during a tragic time. As weeks turned into months and as I began to realize just how fragile she was, I made a choice. I risked losing friends, I hardly saw the swans, did not even make time to visit, or keep in touch with most people. I stayed by my friends side, we planted a garden, took walks together, talked, and even laughed. We plotted and planned our re-emergence into the art world, started an exercise program and she appeared to bloom. What I gave her was so very little, and I hope it was enough, I hope I made a difference, because what I got back from this experience was unexpected. I was filled with the love and joy of a true friendship, and now I must do what friends do, I must honour her desire to die.
My friend is very very sick, physically and heartsick, she has seen one too many Christmases and way too many New Years Eve parties, she is tired and the lifegiving ability to breath is leaving her, she has advanced emphysema, and although I have tried to get her to quit smoking, I now must stand aside and let her live out her life on her own terms. I shall remain by her side for as long as she needs me.
I hope you all find your special doorway this year. Thank you all for your visits and friendship, you have no idea how important you have been to me, you have brought tears and smiles, some have passed on, others have just begun, and thus ends a perfectly normal year.
Hello 2011, I think I am going to like getting to know you.
