Okay, so I'm back. Took an unplanned hiatus from being Pollyanna for a few months. the main reason was that my bff died of  pancreatic cancer on December 19th. The tumor that was declared "all dead" was not as dead as they thought and it came back with a vengeance. Stupid, stupid cancer. So between that and a six-month unit of CPE, I was pretty well done in for a while. But the Pollyanna in me refuses to be squelched forever and hopefully both of those experiences will help to make me a better chaplain. Maybe even a better person, who knows...
