Hi Dan,

Just wanted to add my own note of support for you. I know that here in NJ the cold has been giving me a bit of troulbe with new aches and stifffness and the like so I can only imagine what it is like further north.

I decided a short time ago that I was going to tell my ENT anything that seemed out of the ordinary and not worry about it until he told me to worry about it. For awhile I was anxious about every odd feeling etc. Now I just keep plugging along.

I like the term the "new normal." We will not return to what we were like before this journey began but thats ok. I think there is a lot going for the "new normal." Many of us will agree that the way we approach life is different, and the difference is better.

I still have everyone in my prayers. Let us know when the docs tell you that there was nothing to worry aobut laugh

Peace,

Fr. Mike
