Certainly as you look through the frequency of posts you’ll see a decrease since my surgery. The reality is this blog was born from the deep need to express my experience with cancer, and writing was the perfect outlet. I was able to spend many of my sleepless nights tapping away, and that felt fruitful, cathartic and certainly brought focus to what was an extremely turbulent mental state. As my results have been very positive, and as I have returned slowly to the waking world, the living-breathing-non-cancer-obsessed world of normalcy, my need to write has decreased. I see it as a good thing, certainly, that I feel cured enough not to be worrying.
So what now. What of the blog that helped me connect with some truly life-saving people? The blog that brought calm and focus during the darkest hours of my existence? The blog through which I let all of you know that my surgery was successful, news that when delivered to me on 12/24th rendered me unable to stand erect, and reduced me to a weeping, wet, gasping mass of joy?
What do you think?
The only other bit: I’ve accepted a short term contract with a company called Solar World. They are retrofitting a former IC fab in Hillsboro, and I have joined the HR team to build out the staffing bit and get folks hired. It looks like a fantastic reentry to the workforce: a company doing good in the world.
Thanks all.
