At church this morning, many parishioners and their children took the opportunity to make Advent wreaths during a very nice brunch organized by Trinity’s foodies. As I looked on, it gave me pause to consider how fast time has flown this past year.

The most precise prognosis I’ve received (from UCSF physicians) gives me a 50% chance of living 4 years. I’m just past the 1 year anniversary of the diagnosis of my brain tumor, so we’ve made it to a small milestone: Thanksgiving and Christmas last year were somewhat of a blur given what else was happening – craniotomy, radiation therapy, the start of chemotherapy, et al.

This year we have a new grand daughter to give thanks for, and I’m thinking about things like what sorts of presents to buy – very different from last year. Still amazing how fast time seems to have gone by. It really is wonderful to be thinking about ‘regular’ stuff, timing notwithstanding…
