Hello, everyone! As most of you know, I have been away on medical sickness since June of last year. Since then it has been hard to muster up the energy to keep up on this blob. Many times the first question people ask me is how I am doing, (which I find hard to answer because when they ask I can the hope in their voices and I don't want to dash it by saying; it stinks!) but often the second, even more difficult question, is what you do with all your time? Understandable, because I do have lots of time. But, when you are suffering from chronic pain and fatigue, everything takes more time, and time often just seems to slip away from you. Till, you get to the end of the day realize you haven't really done anything. And by "anything" I mean "anything". No wasting time reading a novel, or watching DVD or playing computer games; it's just gone, and you don't know where any of it went. Also, while on that topic, my image of an ideal day off used to be sleeping in late, get up, move to the couch and watch 3 football games and 2 hockey games in one day. Now, I have found when it is no longer a choice to do this, but do it because all you can do it isn't nearly as much one.
topics
For the next little while this blog may be about a wide variety of things; could be biblical/theological (resting in bed has given me much to think about things) could be about the spiritual side of this journey into illness, it may be reviews of books I've read or films I've seen or editorials on some news item. Or just about anything!
So if you would like to continue to receive updates on this blog let me know or sign up for the RSS feed, or I will often put it a link to it on Facebook or on my twitter account (beekerbc).
Hope you'll find things that are interesting and make you think just a little bit!
