Pride over Pain

 Over the past 10 years I’ve been dealing with chronic back pain.  And oh what a ride it has been.  One thing that I’ve learned from this is that it definitely depends on your mindset.  While it can be rather infuriating to have doctors insinuate that your pain is all in your head, the way you handle the pain greatly depends on a healthy mindset.  I’ve had multiple opportunities to test this theory. 

 One particular topic or issue is putting your pride aside to deal with the pain.  Most recently I was standing in line trying desperately to shift my weight  from foot to foot in order to distribute the weight between the two legs and try to accommodate for the pain that was forth coming. I saw a lady standing with the cane, and I thought to myself why is that.? Why is it that I never think to use my cane when the answer came to me. Because of my pride.  There is a certain spirit in me that didn’t want to rely on a cane for assistance.  The reality is, sometimes in life we have to put our pride to the side and take whatever help that is there for us.  It’s OK to take help, it is not a sign of weakness.  My spirit is the same regardless of my outer shell.  And for that I give thanks.

 Oh my god what can I say?  I’ve been away so long and I’ve learned so many new things about myself that I don’t know where to start . Since I am excited to be back I guess I’ll start off slow and I’m bum barred you all with this wealth of information. 2018 definitely was the start of an exciting year for me.  Turning 50 has definitely been a milestone . My spiritual awakening has definitely increased and my self identity is clear. Since I’m back, I’ll give more information in future blogs. It’s a time of enlightenment and I’m so excited!!! Stay tuned
