This new subject seems to be quite what I need right now. I'm thinking of wearing a bracelet that I haven't worn much, as a reminder. In fact I'll put it on right now. Namaste. Emy

I'm reading the blog again now after a long hiatus. Sandee I understand your difficulty with being laid up. I think it's hard to find serenity in pain. March was taken up with recuperating from pneumonia that came on suddenly last days of Feb. Left me with some physical issues also that require physical therapy (details are boring). Physical therapy people are so encouraging.

Thanks for sharing Emy!
I think what we need most when we are in pain is encouragement. Physical therapy takes time. Progress can be slow. Without encouragement it is easy to give up.
For me, I was focusing so much of my energy on the pain that it left me with much sadness. Charry told me that it was ok to be sad, because my body was in pain, but I did not have to become the pain.
I had to think about this for a while, but it helped me change my perspective from "being" in pain, to working to "reduce" pain.
When I go to physical therapy tomorrow, I will do my work for me, but I will also think of you doing your work for you. Stay with it!
Namaste,
Sandee
