Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Walt, You got that just fine. In my limited experience it's just easy to get into a groove of doing things the way I've always done them, prioritizing the way I always have and not valuing the things that in reality are the most precious. My diagnosis was the ultimate wake up call. It changed my life forever and not all of that was negative. I will never ever look at my life in the same way and honestly that's something to be grateful for. Enjoy every moment of what you have planned. It sounds fabulous! And if you get anywhere in NC please let me know I'll come meet you and your lovely bride anytime!
