Dustin--Another day?

Exceptionally ordinary. That is how I feel 6 days out from being blessed with a renewed existence. I realize cognitively that I should be honored, excited, nervous and relieved… and I am… but the emerging mundanity of my daily coaching conversations with clients, writing, study and prepping for time away from home predominates. I have been keenly aware the last few weeks that distance between what I expected/”should” feel and where my actually thoughts swirl. 

With that said there is new strange nascent preemptive loneliness as I eat-out, go to the movies, and head to the store for the “last” time for a while. We are planning on my quarantine to last to the end of the year as we get the -Acceptance- drugs (again reframing immunosuppressive/anti-rejection to something of merit). I bought masks and hand sanitizers this morning; the new armor of my new world.

I begin my first Rx tomorrow and thus we are at zero-hour regarding face-to-face visits. Facebook, phone and zoom calls will be the way to go now. This is a serious and necessary precaution. So while we need and gratefully appreciate your support, love and good vibes don’t have a range. Kenzie and I have a call list and our hope is those that have propped us up will continue to do so by sharing and spreading updates so that Kenz can focus on Bennett.

I am in awe of Anna’s experience and continue to be honored by my journey with her. I'm planning my recovery training and am curious how things will progress. I am researching Iaido and other Japanese Budo sword arts as I think this will allow me to remain a martial artist and a focus on self-mastery while avoiding the rough contact that is anathema now. These are musings and far from plans.
