“I don’t know if that is a word but intentionality is what you got.”   That’s a rough quote from one of my splendid nurses.   In one of her spare moments between things we were having a wonderful conversation.  She made the comment that it looked like Jennifer and I were coping well or having fun or something like that.  I came back that it was work and really hard work sometimes having fun.  Are you supposed to have fun at the hospital getting a gallon of chemicals onboard?  How in heaven’s name can that be roughly fun?

But she grasped our intention or maybe our raison d’être these daze.   She was in a way praising the way we are walking our Cancer Camino.  It is kind of a piece of cake really after Saint James put me through his boot camp walking across northern Spain last August.  It’s the same trail really but the landscape and the people are different.

But back to intentionality, which the big fat paper dictionary defines as :  “the fact of being deliberate or purposive.  (Philosophy- the quality of mental states ( eg., thoughts, beliefs, desires, hopes) that consists in their being directed toward some object or state of affairs. ”  Well well, how about that?  Successful Cancer Campers and Commandos have to be in that zone for sure.  Keeping in that zone is work and hard work sometimes but it is vital to be in there as much as possible.

Time to pick corn and sunflowers for the day for the roadside stand.  The raccoon threat is under control for the time being.  The sun is out, the temp is 68 degrees F and alperfect around these parts.  Intentional loves, Felipe.
