Tonight is a night of celebration. The celebration is because of this: my wife went to see the surgeon who performed her surgery after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a mastectomy. The word from the surgeon, at this 3-year juncture, is that there is no sign of cancer. And he said more than 50% of recurrences come within 3 years, indicating that my wife's outlook is very, very positive, indeed! So, I'm beyond happy, I'm ecstatic!
My celebration goes on despite the fact that I'm doing the work at home tonight of an employee who is utterly unproductive (I'm afraid she may have some sort of illness that is causing her deep, deep unproductivity). Somehow, it doesn't bother me as much as it might ordinarily. For one thing, if she's ill I want her to be well, but for another, I just can't help but thank my lucky stars that my wife continues to be healthy and cancer-free. Life is good.
I'm easily lured down the path of being annoyed, upset, angry, and unhappy with the world. When I think about what my wife went through and how she came through it, I feel embarrassed at my petty emotions. Life is good, indeed!
