Have you discovered yourself lately?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yeah. I just had my first health crisis in years. Prior to this, I had been getting down on myself because I had resumed taking things for granted after 3+ years of no problems. I went through so much health hell in the past and for a time afterwards had such a great attitude in which I appreciated every little thing about being healthy. So I was really discouraged when I got “used” to being healthy and began to sweat the small stuff again, instead of keeping the excellent perspective I had once had regarding what truly matters and what doesn’t. I had started thinking to myself that I had lost the only positive thing that had ever come out of being ill, so what was the point of all that suffering if the lessons wore off? Well. Now I know they don’t wear off, they just go into hibernation. I still have all those coping skills buried in me, I just don’t need them most of the time. When I needed them, they reemerged. So that is comforting to know. I also spent a bit of time in a very kumbaya state of mind that I hoped was me turning over a new leaf in regards to being less crabby, but alas I think it was just the painkillers I was on, because I’m back to normal with that now.
