There is a reason why I was led to take classes this semester. In our Business/Design Link class one of our two professors gave us a project to do. He asked us to plan out our 1, 5 and 10 year goals. He asked us to include professional, financial, personal, spiritual etc. I love doing those things. It is not due until November 19, but I might be finished by the weekend. What is funny about all of this, is that for the past 15 months I have not really spent a lot of time planning the next 1, 5, and 10 years of my life. All I was concerned about was living. Would I make it through this treatment? Will I relapse? Will there be no more treatments for me if I relapse again? Will I make ever make it to transplant? Will the transplant fix me? Will I be able to walk my daughter Emma down the isle when she gets married? Who will attend my funeral if I do not make it? How will I give God the glory if I survive? These questions are the ones that permeate, not my career path. However, I feel really good about doing this type of planning. It gets me focused on the positive. It gets me focused on living. I am so happy I am not just sitting around but doing something.
These two classes are a blessing and I think it is intended for me to walk across the stage and switch my tassle this January. That will be such a proud day. It will have much more significance than if I was not battling disease. Thank God everything worked out for me to finally be on the path to getting my Masters.
