What’s your location?

Ah, location, location, location. Where are our thoughts? What and where we focus will help us through some difficult moments here and there and, to a large extent, usher us into eternity.

I appreciate each of you who expressed concern over my care last night. I’m doing fine. I will not likely let 45-55 minutes orchestrate how I am doing. Yes, I get frustrated that here we go again. However, my focus is on the good after I move past the irritation. Happily, I think, at least it was not five hours.

Where are my thoughts located when I am faced with a nonsensical scenario? They are on Park Avenue in a high-rise penthouse. Yes, it is expensive there, but it is worth it. I’m high enough to have a good perspective. I know that these aggravations are preparing me for the next hurdle.

Today has been a good day. I am listening to Blessed in the Darkness by Joel Osteen. My wife brought me some zucchini bread slices. She’s going to make some banana nut bread this week. I’m working on the process for publication of the fifth book, ALS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly – My ALS – Amazing Life Story.

I have not mentioned it, but I have started back to trying to breathe on my own off of the ventilator machine for ten minutes while I am receiving trachea and G-tube care. I don’t have a specific goal. I’ll just keep working on adding more minutes comfortably. They are all hard minutes right now. Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
