Long time ...

A very good friend of mine sent me an email, concerned because I had not written in my blog for a very long time. My fault. I let sometimes my work and other activities fill up my days and do not get around to reflecting and writing as we all should. My thoughts and ideas accompany me when I'm driving or in the shower or anywhere and when I'm by myself but the fact is that I didn't sit down to type in my personal blog. Anyway, I'm back and with news. Three months ago, after finally changing physician, or neurologist to be more precise, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, or MS as is commonly denoted.

The only difference from my previous post is that now I know what I have and am under treatment. Regrets? Nope, it's not worth it. I can't change my past, so I have to go on with my life and business as usual, or almost as usual. I have been making some adjustments because of my movement limitations and I also have to squeeze in time for physical therapy sessions. Anyway, this is no excuse for not stopping for some minutes to write and share with my few readers my reflections and thoughts.

Ideas to write about? Yes, I've had a lot, specially when I am by myself, but I will be trying to get back to the discipline of writing in my blog more frequently.

Cosas que pasan, pero que no te quitan la felicidad. Se alejarán de tí tal vez actividades que antes considerabas normales, y que poco a poco se convierten en un recuerdo. Pero se te abrirán nuevos horizontes, y siempre siempre contarás con el apoyo de tu familia y tus amigos, para seguir construyendo una felicidad que te ha bendecido a través de la vida.

Con mucho afecto,

Rogelio

Jose Fernando,
Tú sabes que la vida continua a pesar del mal tiempo y estoy seguro que esta Esclerosis Múltiple no va a limitar en ningún modo tu vida, tus sueños, tu trabajo. En lugar de ser una adversidad, tú la convertirás en una oportunidad más para luchar por la vida y para mostrarle a tu esposa, tus niñas, amigos y conocidos, que seguirás siendo esa persona tan valiosa para la academia y la humanidad. Dios continuará bendiciendo tu vida y te mostrará el camino a seguir para tu recuperación. Gracias por compartir tus pensamientos en esta "esquina" y enseñarnos tantas cosas a través de ella.
Con aprecio y cariño, tu alumno de la Javeriana,
Julian Sosa

Thanks to Rogelio and Julian for their encouraging comments. I have learned recently that I have good friends all over the world and that they read my corner, a rather irregular blog.
