Ch Ch Ch Ch Changes

Changes - David Bowie

I'm not intentionally taking the song title route for each post.  It's just that when I come up to naming the post whatever rings out to me always seems to spark a reminder of a song.   It just works.   This one Changes by Davie Bowie.

The diagnosis of cancer has changed me.   I don't feel like the same person I was a few months ago.  I look at everything differently; I feel different.   Amazing how one word can do that.   Maybe it's just a realization that I have changed over the past years and I'm in a new stage in my life.    It feels good, feels peaceful.  I think I'll like it here.

Could be a temporary feeling - a checking in of sorts - seeing where I'm at.  Not related to the diagnosis at all but rather just an acknowledgement that I've passed through a door, a one way door.   Like falling in love for the first time, holding a newborn son or daughter, losing a parent or partner.   My world is different.   It has changed.

Now I want to bring on even more change.     Where I focus my time, daily priorities and routines and diet.   Not uncommon for me to shuffle the furniture around in the house but it has been a obsession of mine over the past months to completely change and personalize my bedroom. To make it match this new version of me.

I want to try new things, build on this new stage and make it noticeably different from the last.
So I will continue to shuffle around priorities, energy and focus through this next stage starting out with the little speed bump in the road that this diagnosis brings.
