Eva’s Byte # 396 – Love, Joy, and Hope
Suffice it to say without preaching to the choir, the Christmas season wraps itself around the renewable gifts of love, hope, and joy. Not one to wear my heart on my sleeve, I’d be remiss if I didn’t pay tribute to my sister at this point in time.
Love:
Oh, we had our share of sibling squabbles growing up—she, the adventurous daredevil; me, the demur bookworm. To this day, I recall how she preyed upon my squeamishness for all things that jostled by rocking the Ferris wheel car we occupied while stopped at the tippity-top.
An active outdoor enthusiast, she continues to live on the cutting edge: whitewater rafting – Class V, strenuous hiking, and boxing.
Joy:
When I discovered she will make a full recovery after undergoing ten hours of emergency, open-heart surgery to reconstruct her heart after sustaining a three-fold aortic rupture. It’s a miracle, really!
Hope:
While she has a long road ahead of her, my sister’s strength, resilience, and self-discipline will overcome this temporary setback, one day at a time surrounded by the comforts of home.
In my capacity as a writer, I completed drafting chapter 23 (1651 words) of my Contemporary work in progress. I’m currently drafting chapter 24 (216 words thus far).
*May each of us value the spiritual gifts of love, joy, and hope to better ourselves and humankind.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
