I am off in a few minutes to go to Swedish Hospital and get my portable chemo pump disconnected that has been my constant companion since Tuesday. I have nicknamed it or him Pancho, like the sidekick of the old TV cowboy show Cisco Kid from way back in the fifties. But before I get there I am going to take a little side trip (my sidekick is going on a side trip) to the Sacred Heart Radio Station. These are the folks that had me do the radio interview which you can listen to on Sound Cloud back a week or so ago on this blog.

So, I will be doing some extra driving this AM and I am checking with my guardian angel for her help in the extra morning traffic that I will have to navigate. At some point I realized, after having three hair raising close calls on the highway, that constant worrying about my cancer could be a moot point compared with this source of danger. I am using this in my mentoring with others, and that is that taking up the precious days that we have with worry is cheating ourselves of this unique time. I have heard it said that worry is a tool of the devil and maybe that says it.

So the message to you my fearless readers is that we all have precious few days, whether this has been made obvious or not, let’s not waste them with worry about things that are ou of our hands. Have faith that the universe is conspiring in our favor, we just need to realize it and play along. That’s my take.

I have to shower and go. So for now, it’s alperfect in the big picture. Oh, but one of my rememberances from the Camino that might be appros and that is in one of the many many churches that Kelly and I visited there was a uniquely different statue of our Mother Mary where she had this big huge smile. The smile was bigger than it needed to be in other words. A message? Did she know something that we have yet to learn? With love to you, Felipe.
