What Now?!
It’s the big question. What do I do now that I’ve had the gift of a full recovery? More importantly, what happens to this blog?!
After some thought, I’ve decided that as long as I have some readers out there, I should take the opportunity to share my thoughts, beliefs, rants, etc. Why not, right?! In all seriousness though, this blog has meant a lot to me and I look forward to continuing it. Now that I’m back to work and an active life, I’m certain the entries will be less frequent, but I will do my best to keep on letting you look through my lens.
Speaking of which, check out the pic above from last week’s amazing camping trip. For the past four years I’ve been going up to Vermont camping on the White River and it is such an incredible escape. This year, it had new meaning. It meant escaping computers, televisions, and (gulp) even blackberries. But it also meant escaping needles, pills, scans, nausea, sickness, hospitals, cancer. It was a place that I could truly enjoy the freedom that good health brings. A breath of fresh air.
Alas, I am back to the real world now and that feels good too! I’m back working at the real estate company that has employed me for over seven years, BOWES GMAC Real Estate, with great people. AND to my pleasant surprise I have started a new internship! The company produces films, multimedia and does communication consulting – with a specialty in international development and peacebuilding. Really incredible stuff. You can check it out here: //www.spectrummedia-boston.com/
At this internship I will be working on a proposal for a new film they will produce/direct.
So that’s the latest. It is taking some adjusting doing full work days again and I get tired towards the end of the day, but I think I’m holding up pretty well. Certainly can’t complain!

I'm soo happy that things are working out and you are back where you want to be and you got to go camping! I sincerely mean it when I say, I don't know anyone who could overcome all of this with such optimism and strength as you have and get so much accomplished and search for work opportunities in the meantime! To say that I'm proud of you is such an understatement! I love you soooooo much! Congratulations on the internship! Another great success! =) I really do have the best big brother ever! =)
Love always,
Cassandra

I'm happy your keeping the blog, John! I started a new blog that is chronicling grad school. Maybe slightly narcissistic, but it's kind of therapeutic. When I write about it, it isn't as bad as I make it out to be in my mind. Pop in and see what I'm up to – samanthacrescitelli.blogspot.com 🙂
