Embracing life with chronic pain and illnesses.

Life

We do not have control over the path that out lives might lead. This is an understatement to those that have endured health issues. The struggles….the frustrations…the pain…..the fight…..the battle…..not asked for…….

Yet…we are “blessed”. We have been given the unique challenge of dealing with health issues…..whether that means illness, longterm illness, surgery or multiple surgery incidents……

What I have learned……

I am NOT in control….I do not dictate my health…..my day-to-day activities are NOT in MY control.

Due to my unique circumstance, I know that my presence in this life is a Blessing…..it is a GIFT. (I experienced a life change event…….I know that God has blessed me with my current life…..I flat-lined……went through the “light tunnel”….YES!! It is real……I do not expect anyone to believe me….yet…I know that anyone who knows me will believe….)

Life is beautiful! We are given the opportunity to interact with each other through life….through our experiences. We are able to share our experiences when we interact with each other…..we are able to invoke…to build upon the experiences shared by those close to us.

Focus on the GIFT! The gift is LIFE……we are blessed to contact…to interact with a number of individuals. We do not control how that interaction will result…..yet….our hope…is that the interaction will result in those around us, somehow, comprehending that they are so special….that those around us are so important……that we are all connected….

I feel like I am babbling….am I connecting to anyone? I am not wanting to rant….I do not want to seem as someone that is just rambling…..

Just know…..our opportunity to enjoy time with our families…our friends…..is important. Each of us is given a sacred, blessed gift that only we…alone can give. It is up to each and every one of us to open ourselves….to allow ourselves to be a “gift” to those around us.
