Life can be short, and lord knows accidents happen sometimes to those we love the most. These days we have so many messages of fear that creep into our lives. I found my little hospital stay a wonderful reminder to embrace everything and everyone you love. That letting go of the old resentments or anger really is worth it. It’s hard to enjoy a beautiful tree when all you are thinking is “damn that bastard!”
I know it’s all easier said than done, but it’s definitely my new goal to practice happiness.
A good doctor rummaged around in my tummy and found some things that shouldn’t be there. He took them out and put me all back together, and I feel a bit like re-arranged breakfast sausages, but oddly enough I feel operated on in a psychic way, too. I know I have had a lot of anger in the last few years, and don’t want anger to grow in me again in any way. I want to feel all the peace that this beautiful life has to offer. Perhaps that was the bigger lesson.
I believe we manifest a lot of the things that happen to our bodies. I don’t mean to say we are to blame for things that could be environmentally or genetically caused, but I think our minds are far more powerful than we give credit. I understand now why women wear lipstick to their mastectomy. On every level, it is good to reinforce our beauty and joy in living.
I hope that this new phase of my life is filled with “yes!” Yes to joy, yes to love, yes to friends, yes to life.
I hope you can feel some of that, too!
