I think it is important to stop and take a look at where I have been — where I am now — and where I am going.
Looking back can give me joy and anguish but it is the past and it is best to let the past be just that — the past.
Living in the here and now — the present — can be and is — very trying and frustrating and scary and downright crazy at times. However, it is my life, my journey and it has hills, valleys and mountains. Will I make it over the mountains or will I be stopped half way up? Will I be stuck in a flooded valley with no way up or out? I don’t know and that can be the scary part…not being able to see the future.
Chronic pain is what it is — a pain in the neck, leg, back, feet, hands and so many other places too numerous to write. I can pretend that I am stronger than what I really am or I can accept the day to day facts that I cannot do what I once did — nor is my body the same as it once was.
I choose to let it go, let it go, let it go…..
If I live in the past, I lose the present. If I live in the what if’s, I lose the adventure.
I say we take each day as it comes and let the rest of it go… after all we still have so much to add to our journey.
take care,
