Appreciation
March 1st 2008 23:36
So,I guess because today was not that bad until now as far as my pain level,it got me thinking.I do appreciate times of lower level pain.I absorb everything.The day was pretty,clear sky.And it was warmer out than it has been so even though I was inside,it gave me some energy.
I almost felt like my old self.Sometimes you're so deep into the pain,the pain so deep in you,for so long,you don't remember your own personality.Getting a glimpse of it again meant alot to me.My 8yr old grandaughter was here,so I was able to have some special moments.I was able to actually joke,hug and smile with her.
Those are the times that will help me when I'm most down.And my pets.They can sense it.My little dog turns on his charm to get extra treats.My cats know.They come up to me and it's different than when I'm in alot of pain.They look for the attention.It's great to be able to talk to them and give them the attention they deserve.
I was even able to get a little extra things done around the house.Which means alot to me.
So,now my pain level is a little up,it's time to take it easy and enjoy still having some lower level pain time.Relax,listen to some music.Some aroma therapy.
Soak it all in,save it up.Enjoy.And these are times to go over things in my life,to be grateful.The serenity prayer helps:
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
There's acceptance,and there is defeat.I accept but still remain hopeful that life will improve.I do not want to be angry or depressed.And I do want and need to do the things I can to make the best of my life.
