It's been a long time again....

Trailering

We've used the trailer several times since April.  After my operation we went out for a couple of days for a change of scene.
MWP went on a 10 day retreat to an unserviced provincial campground.  He really enjoyed that.  I enjoyed staying at home on my own.
Last week we went for 3 nights out to French Beach.  Another unserviced provincial campground.  It was really wonderful for me to get out camping again.  We had campfires and made smoors.  We walked on the beach.  Read in the sun.  Napped.  Relaxed.
By the way, we LOVE our little trailer!!!

Not quite as restless

The cancer diagnosis and treatment has changed me.  At first I was terribly anxious and then at some point my brain just shut off the anxiety.   It was like the universe said "You want something to worry about.  I'll give you something to worry about!"  After a while I became numb to the worry and stress.  Now I'm much more laid back.  Very much into 'don't sweat the small stuff.'
MWP and I have almost switched roles.  He's the go-getter now.  I'm laid back.  He's been arranging all our trailer trips this summer.  Making reservations, picking the sights.

Plans

MWP suggested we do something 'life changing.'  (Notice that it was not me!)  At first we thought we might go to Europe for 6 months, but that didn't work out because of visa problems.  So then MWP suggested we take the trailer into the US and travel around for 6 months.  Perfect!  I love that idea.  So we are busy planning that trip now.  It won't be for a while but it gives us time to get organized and make sure my cancer is well and truly gone before we head out.

Today's Gratitude:

Strangers who have become friends.  Other guys who have been through what I'm going through and who've formed a little support network with me.  I've gotten support and given support.  It's what's getting me through this....
