Stressed?

We're probably not stressed in the way you think.

On Wednesday I wrote about how our society doesn’t seem to often use the words related to death. Well, around our house we've had a lot of practice the last couple of weeks. When Robin was in the hospital we talked about what happens after death, and since we've been home she has even had occasion to ask visitors what they think.

Pretty much we're not focused on dying, but Robin's teaching us to focus each day on living. We don't know how much time she has left, but we don't know how much time anyone of us has left. At the end of each day I ask if she has had a good day and she invariably says yes. Sometimes we'll leave it at that, and other times we'll talk about what made it a good day! :)

Robin said that even in the toughest days of her treatment in New York, she would find one positive thing that had happened during the day and she would keep going back to that memory to keep herself going.
