Part of it the physical things that I have been doing, and part of it a restless night, and part the very sad news, but today is a hard day already. The pain is almost overwhelming me and I need to be very careful today to be especially good to myself.
Karl Rudat died on Tuesday. He didn't follow his own advise, and we have lost a great doctor. I have my appointment with him in January for my follow check up, and we have lost him forever. The sadness of this news stunned me. I almost asked for him while I was in the hospital, just because I wanted to see him, but I did not, and that is a regret that I have now. That funeral I would not have been able to go to. "It's been a pleasure doing business with you" he said to me after Antonio was born. And it was, always a pleasure.
And so today I am more mindful than ever about that subject of words. The very thought that I have was expressed well in the lecture I was watching last night.... "The message you intend to send may be very different than the message that is received by the other party"
Lets try to make ourselves clear to the people that are so very important to us.
