As the new year begins, most of us have high hopes for the coming months. I had alot of plans in the making, personal, professional, spiritual. Life had some other plans for me. I broke my right ankle cross country skiing. First broken bone in my life, a new experience. The plan for healing is still in process (boot vs cast vs surgery). The uncertainty is something I am not used to. I plan, look ahead, am in a helping profession. Not used to being the helpless one.
On my spiritual path, I feel this part of the road is one that I have alot to learn. Living in the now is something I am aiming for, but I can clearly see I haven’t been doing. I am more wrapped up in all the tomorrows.
I have been touched by the responses of my family, friends and people I don’t even know! How much that human connection means is such a powerful healer. No matter what my next step (non-weight bearing, of course) is, I want to learn the lessons I have been given thru this. And first off is, acceptance.
