It is Here!

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I had planned to post the process to get approved for surgery. I was tired and went to bed so I will have to post that after surgery because its here. Just hours away! I slept horrible last night. Tossed and turned and woke up what seemed like every 30 minutes. It was like trying to sleep on christmas eve when you are a child. I don't think it will really set in that its here until I am there. I am now getting ready listening to music. 

I find it kind of ironic that my favorite band Death Cab For Cutie released their new album today on my surgery date. The new CD is called Kintsugi. Kintsugi as described on wikipedia "The Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique. As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise." To me this really hits home. I feel like right now I am starting to "put the pieces back together" so to say. With my blog and in my life I am being an open book and telling my story rather than trying to hide my history.

One of my favorite songs on the album is Little Wanderer. Take a listen below.

Time to get moving. I will see you on the other side of surgery!
