Apr 21 Words to live by

I am having a tough week. The mouth ulcers have returned with a vengeance and I am hoping Dr. Paterson's magic mouth mix is going to resolve the problem. I've cancelled everything for the foreseeable future so I can concentrate on gargling every 3 hours and getting as many nutrients inside me through a straw!
I have been keeping a journal this year, a beautiful wee Paperblanks Spirit of Womankind book covered in vibrant gold etched graphics entitled Midsummer Night's Dream (from the gift shop at Glenbow Museum.) Today, tucked in the pocket, I found this page from my Zen calendar from Jan 11 - the day I returned home from surgery:
" We know only that our entire existence is forced into new paths and disrupted, that new circumstances, new joys and new sorrows await us, and that the unknown has its uncanny attractions, alluring and at the same time anguishing. " Heinrich Heine
It is good to know that these trying times are all part of the master plan, right? Good thing my angels are tucked in there too...
