In the Catholic Church liturgical calendar there is an acknowledgment of “ordinary Time”. This is the time between holidays and the time that is not Christmas or Easter or Good Friday or Advent.
It feels like that here in the land of love and cancer too. It’s not chemo or blood tests or attorneys. It’s not exhilaration or tragedy. This day and this week are filled with grocery shopping, golf lessons, parent’s night, and girl friends. I am picking up library books, allergy medicine, dry cleaning and avocados.
Having been in cancer land so much this year I have to stop and remind myself that this ordinary time is the real holiday, the true luxury, the blessing and the gift.
