This Holiday Season...

To say that I have had an "interesting" last few months would
be an understatement. I am sure many of you have had an “interesting” few
months or years…even a lifetime. Be sure that I do not want to share my story
to compare, because many of you have had worse and that isn't the point, but I share my story in order to
reflect.
A few months ago, at 7 months pregnant, I had a Grand Mal
seizure. It was out of blue, there were no symptoms, my pregnancy was going
well and I (or so I thought) was the picture of health…according to my yearly
checkups. After I had the seizure, I was
taken in an ambulance to the local hospital to get an MRI. The MRI revealed
that I had a significant size tumor (about the size of an orange) in my brain.
Thus I needed to undergo brain surgery (at 7 months pregnant) to remove the tumor in order to avoid
hemorrhaging in my brain during labor and delivery.
Needless to say I underwent the brain surgery and spent some
time in the hospital and at home recovering. During that time (like many others) I had the
chance to reflect on what is important in my life and how it affects other people in
my life. Frankly, the brain surgery was a gift to me and allowed me time to assess
what was important. This holiday season,
I hope that you don't have to have a major life event to have a chance to truly reflect on what is important.
This holiday season…I hope you smile at strangers
This holiday season…I hope you take the time to hug your dog
This holiday season…I hope you love your family
This holiday season…I hope you share in the joy your friends
bring
This holiday season…I hope you feast on some good food
This holiday season…most of all…I hope you are happy…
