Christmas Tie

I only have one nice Christmas tie...I also have one stupid Christmas tie (the kind with the funny Santa and his reindeer). Anyway, I didn't think I was going to have an opportunity to wear either this season...until today(and neither one will do me any good next week).

This morning I decided I'd try working an entire day for the first time since the surgery...unless I get too tired. A 7:30am board meeting presented an opportunity to wear real business clothes for the first time in a month. So out came the dress shirt (haven't tucked-in a shirt for a month), the classy Christmas tie, nice slacks with a belt (which I also haven't worn in a month), and jacket.

Lucia often says, "When you feel your worst, look your best!" Well, I don't feel my worst, but dressing certainly has done a lot for my attitude and I believe I even have more energy. Once again, Lucia knows best!

I have much for which to be thankful this Christmas season...indeed, I have received more than my share of blessings during my journey with, and without, my prostate. May your holiday, whatever your tradition, be filled with love, laughter, and health.

I continue to receive messages from readers. This morning I received a note from a twenty-five year old asking questions regarding prostate health not just for himself, but for his brother and father as well. Perhaps the message is starting to be heard.
