A lot has happened since then. Some good. Some not so good. A lot of awesome. Some decidedly not awesome.
"Normal" is different now than it was then, but assuming one doesn't live in a vacuum, two years passing brings change to everyone. "Normal" is as impermanent as everything else.
Two years later, I've got new things to deal with, but none of them are cancer. I'll take that.
For the third year, my goal is to get a better grip on how I handle what the more difficult changes in my life have brought with them.

When you see a truck bearing down on you, by all means jump out of the way. But spend some time in meditation, too. Learning to deal with discomfort is the only way you'll be ready to handle the truck you didn't see.
