On January 21, 2010 my mother-in-law died rather suddenly and my blogging days had to be suspended until now. I will get back on course by Saturday. No, I haven't forgotten, just busy. My wife and her family are still processing and coping and doing quite well but the sting of the loss is still wearing off.
In my life, I have learned that the key to remembering someone is to survive yourself. This journey began in earnest because of a death. The driving force behind the success of this journey is wanting to live as long as God allows. Realizing that anything can happen, what stewardship I have in this life will be well spent by doing everything I can to allow God to propel me into health.
A part of dealing with stress is the need for a visceral reaction to the emotional churning inside. The stress can be connected to anything in our lives. I'm not certain exactly why - comfort, familiarity, or trying to cope - eating certainly attaches itself to stress. The hardest part is saying no.
I have learned when I am full. I have learned when to stop. It has been a lot of work to get here and I can't turn back.
