Not Particularly Different

Vickie and I had met at Red's tonight to get a quick evening meal before going on to Wednesday night church services. It was a different day today like every day is different. But yet the same, because it's just life, always moving and always bringing some variation of life's refrain.

The family had one of its children give birth to a child today. Not particularly different.

I learned that Ken's Restaurant closed Monday with plans to re-open as a liquor store. Not particularly different in today's society; but, a shock. It's just not right for a Dairy Mart to grow up and become a liquor store.

My doctor's office called during that meal Vickie and I were having tonight at Red's. I thought that was different. The report from my most recent CT Scan indicated no changes, no recurrence of cancer. Not particularly different thankfully. It's a part of life now. Difficult to feel comfortable with and not a welcome guest; but, you make room and you accomodate. It was 2 years ago almost to the day that I finished the radiation treatments following the surgery to remove the cancer. I'm different now - I won't ever be the same; but that's not particularly different.
