What does not kill you makes you stronger

July 7, 2007

Pardon the litany of my week's drama, there is an inspiring and helpful point I am leading up to.

Last Saturday, I fell off a stage, ruptured an intestinal area hernia, underwent major surgery, woke up feeling like I had had a c-section, appendectomy and was gut-shot all in one.

Two days later I started hemorrhaging, and threw a little clot.......got it fixed, and am sitting here tonight feeling Blessed, Lucky and Grateful to be alive.

In some small way I understand what our men and women in combat go through every day and how they survive and hold it together.

They leave the safety of their compound knowing they may be blown up, shot, spit on and God-knows what.

They return to camp safe, andTHEY HAVE TO put it out of their mind, ..........so they can sleep at night to be ready for tomorrow's mission.

It is the only way they can survive AND stay sane.

We can do the same with any event.

Eckhart Tolle teaches us in "The Power Of Now", that the secret to enlightenment (freedom, peace, and happiness) is to stop thinking about what happened (and what might happen) ,

And focus our thinking, our attention immediately and only IN THE NOW.

That is the only true Power we have: To choose what and when we think about.

Friends........ It works. !!!!

I look pregnant, I have a scar so ugly I look like a mutant, I am purple-black-and-blue from my navel to my thighs, and Yet................

Tonight, I am lucid, I am giggling with joy, loving you all, and can't wait to see what miracle tomorrow is SURE TO BRING.

Then to top it off, our friend at www.greatday.com, Ralph Marston sends me this one as today's Daily Message:

Recover

If, at some point, your day gets pushed in a negative direction, it doesn't have to stay that way. You can quickly and completely recover.

The distractions and disruptions will surely come along. Yet you do not have to let any of them ruin your whole day.

There's never any need to wait until tomorrow to make a fresh start. Instead, you can choose to immediately let go of whatever has thrown you off course.

You can decide to begin moving forward again right away. Keep in mind that the number of times you fall is not nearly as important as how quickly you get back up.

Don't allow an isolated frustration, disappointment or change in plans to turn into a whole day's worth of negative momentum. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you can be moving forward.

Recover quickly, get back up and get going again with renewed determination. Nothing will be able to hold you back for long.

-- Ralph Marston

I hope these Daily IN-Spirations help and motivate, empower and sweeten your Life as much as they do mine.

This is getting to be very fun, very exciting and, very, very OUT THERE.

Doo-doo doo-doo DOO-DOO

Woo-Woo

I sense a Cosmic-AHA happening, do you?

What does not kill you makes you stronger, happier, and definitely MORE GRATEFUL.

THIS GIVES NEW MEANING TO A "BELLY LAUGH"

ENJOY YOUR LIFE, IT IS TRULY PRECIOUS. Blessings and Lovings
