HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS

I have been home now for over a week. Boy did this week go by quickly. Its amazing how fast time flies, especially when there is so much to do. I came home and had to review and execute documents, wire out funds and finally close on the land that I bought in Costa Rica. This process has been child’s play compared to all the work that lies ahead in front of me. But, I do hope that designing a home will be at times fun and rewarding.

I went to my eye doctor last week as soon as I got home, because I seemed to have lost the majority of my eye sight in my left eye while in Costa Rica. The small town I was in does not have an eye doctor on staff in the town’s clinic. So I saw a general practitioner who thought it was pink eye. Needless to say, the drops proscribed to me did not work. My eye doctor here in Miami informed me that I have a cataract right in the middle of my pupil. It appears to have grown overnight. The rapid growth I was told could have been caused by all the radiation that I recently went though to remove the cancer from my liver and iliac bone. To look on the bright side, I would say that this is not such a bad trade off under the circumstances. I will schedule the cataract surgery for when I come home from Taiwan. Which will be at the end of April.

It is hard to be home. I miss Lewis so very much and being home keeps reminding me that I am alone. That he is not coming back. I want so badly to hold him and talk to him, hear his voice, and see his perpetual smile. I love him now as much as the first day that I fell in love with him. It is not fair, he should be building this new home with me. He would be so happy and excited. However, I have to believe that he is happy and excited for me. I have to believe that he is with me, maybe not in body, but in spirit. I have to believe, because it keeps me going. He would want me to be happy. And I will follow his wishes.

I bought the land under a corporation that I created in Costa Rica. The corporation’s name is Lewis’ Gift. Which in my mind it actually is. There are no addresses in Costa Rica, only land marks. So of course, there is no mail. How quant is that!! I know that I will not get my Amazon, but I also know that I will not get any bills. Another good trade off. My friend suggested putting up a road sign with his name on it on the road where my property sits. I think I will. I will name the street Lewis’ Way. I think it will make him smile. I know I will smile every time I see it.

So, I created a great big project for myself and the magnitude of such a project is just now starting to sink in. But it will keep me going and I will have something to look forward to. I am going to take one day at a time, witness how the whole procedure unfolds and enjoy the ride. My health be damned, well it actually already is, but it will not stop me. Life is to live, to enjoy and to never be taken for granted! Keep moving, find your passion and run with it. Smile often, share your love openly and be good to others, but most importantly to yourself!!!

Life is not merely surviving!!!!
