Have you ever thought about how we measure time? Of course, we have clocks and calendars and smart watches and electronic reminders and any number of ways to show us what day and hour it is. Then, we have other ways we each mark time. We have birthdays and anniversaries. Sports fans mark opening day of their favorite sport. Parents talk about the BC years (before children). We even have different years. We have the calendar year, fiscal year and school year.
People with chronic illnesses have a different way of measuring time. We measure the time between surgeries and hospital visits.
I am happy to say it has been six years since my last major surgery. 2015 was a tough year. I had two major surgeries. Plus, I was in the hospital a week for an infection. And, I had four outpatient surgeries. All of this was between January and April. I have come a long way since then.
Praying I can continue to mark 2015 as the year of my last major surgery.
Reflection: Time marches on. Don’t just mark the time in your life by the big events. Live the little moments in between the big events.
Hidden in Plain Sight 
Thank you for reminding us to take notice of and appreciate the little moments. We forget how important they are in out lives. Carolyn, keep reaching out and touching so many. You are a true inspiration to me, and I thank you.
Time does march on and we need to enjoy every big and little moment.
I miss seeing you.
