Memoir Monday #51 Fulfilling Dreams or Attending to My Health without Living Intensely

in Silver Bloggers21 days ago
A little over two years ago I had to make a difficult decision in my life and, as hard as it was to make it, my family and my husband supported me and I decided to do it.

Thanks to @ericvancewalton and this initiative from the @silverbloggers community I can tell you this story.

Ten years ago I was diagnosed with a disease that changed my life. No matter how much mental strength you can have, that impact first knocks you down and, even if you don't want it to, it changes your life.

As expected, there were very difficult days ahead, hospital visits, doctor's appointments and treatment. They were very hard days that, thanks to my husband and my family, I was able to cope with and get through in a more transient way. But, in spite of this, I felt that I was drowning and that I was consuming my life, when I considered that I was in the best stage of my existence.

For this reason, and after thinking about it for a while, I talked with my loved ones about the need to fulfill some dreams that I had and that for various reasons had been impossible for me to realize.

Two alternatives appeared before me: to stay in my country following the medical treatment or to go out and visit some countries and places I always wanted to go to.

The alternative was the second one, and I went with my husband to the unknown.

I have been traveling for three years now. My first destination was the southern cone of America and I arrived in Uruguay. In that country I lived in Montevideo, one of my favorite cities and I was able to enjoy many beautiful places that were not on my itinerary, but the opportunity arose and I enjoyed them.

From Uruguay I went to Mexico, the second country of my touristic tour. In this country I have been to several places and, although I have not been able to visit the resort of Cancun, I have been able to be in other places, such as the Lion King's mountain, the Mexican capital and other places in this beautiful country.

We are currently exploring the third country on our tour.
As for my health, I have had better days and others not so much, but, what is certain is that I will live as intensely as I can until the inevitable arrives.
