Man Plans and God laughs

And I thought my health issues would be "cleaned up" in time for my current sabbatical. But the tumor grew (a little). I don't have to undergo surgery (yet) but I will have to do so if it continues to grow. In the mean time, I'm trying to stay in the present moment and appreciate my overall good health. The older I get, the more I realize life is not black and white, but rather many shades of gray. Over time, I'm learning to live with inconsistency, uncertainty, and the inevitable ups and downs that seem to make up life. But sometimes, it's not easy to ride those waves!
