Today as I underwent more tests pre-operative at the hospital, I felt I was doing better emotionally. Got a few meanial things done as well, came home & had a nanna nap, then suddenly, I received a text message on my phone from a friend and former work colleague, from whom I hadn't heard from for some time.
I thought it was nice, gave him my new email address (that's why he contacted me), and found an attachment later with the email. More than 12 months ago, when we worked together in the same team in a Govt office, I often commented that, with all of his insightful and inspiring philosophical quotes and comments, he should write a book. Well - he has, and this was his attachment to the email he sent.
It is absolutely beautiful, a lot of thought, love and inspiration has gone into it, it has been published, and I think he is a star! Here is a link to a sample of it and I wish to share. I have also put the link on twitter. http://www.caro.com.au/way/presents.htm
I sat for more than an hour reading and absorbing his work; sometimes in tears, reflecting on my own experiences with my cancer and a relationship this year, and really believing strongly in synchronicity - the fact that he chose today to be in touch then send me his book. I now have my own ideas to assist him in promoting it further.
I hope my positivity will continue this weekend - I have a few little personal projects on the go to try & get done before my operation, so all is well with my world currently. I need to be grateful for the experience today, learn from it, gain strength from it, and continue with my journey.......thus my "almost open" lotus flower....
