i’m a few days late to this post… mostly because my physical health took a bit of dive and colored everything. i have a pinched nerve in my neck, a long standing issue, but is now affecting my vision. i of course freaked out and got various doc appts to sort out. my exterior was calm, like a duck above water, but under the water i was peddling so hard.
this physical pain reminded me that our health is everything. i read somewhere before that we all feel pain but we do not have to suffer. if i procrastinated more on dealing w the health issues, i would be choosing to suffer. it was also a reminder that the solution to pain is often unsexy, persistent, daily work, in this case physical therapy exercises. a shot might be relieving but that is also temporary and doesn’t deal w the root of the issue.
i’m off to maine this week w no service. i hope some time in nature can help both my mind and body to ease a bit.
