Wrote this in an email recently and thought it good ’nuff to share:
I will just share my thoughts as I had to sit so firmly in the pain yesterday, pain that I just couldn’t see past for so long (is there anything worse than nauseousness????). At some point, I realized how much we take for granted our everyday health and ability. Why on earth, I thought during one of many brain ramblings that I couldn’t shut off, do I spend my healthy moments consumed with fear, anxiety, questions about my ability and other negative thoughts that can keep me paralyzed?? And I’m better at combating that brain chatter than most! Oy Vey!
So let’s think about that for a bit. Let’s not wait any longer to do the things we want to do. Let’s not give in to fear so easily. Because we’ll regret it when we can’t get out of bed one day. Let’s be grateful that we have all our limbs, we have movement, we have the capacity to think, to dream. There’s no reason for us to be so unhappy, so paralyzed, when we have our health. Right?
