Ring this bell three times well, Its toll to clearly say … My treatments are done, Its course is run; And I am on my way.
I thought this day would never come.
Today (as you’re reading this) is the last day of cancer treatment for Abby. This afternoon, she’ll ring the bell with the quoted phrase above at our treatment center; signifying the end to this round of treatment and the beginning of her recovery (and eventual return to full-time work we hope). The last couple of weeks have been a true test for us; and I had to step up and take more of the responsibilities on my shoulders so that she can focus on getting better.
Onto the other topic.
The last couple of years, every January I come up with a yearly theme that I try to stick to for the entirety of that year. Last year was “The Year Of Making”, and usually I have a theme in place by now. The concept is not really new, and is very common in productivity circles; but I haven’t decided on a theme just yet because of not only the treatments, but also waiting on a decision regarding my application for the watchmaking program I applied for last year. That should be a separate posting here, once I know more.
