I can’t say that this summer has been my best, although I can point to the days spent with both of my kids and all three granddaughters as precious and wonderful.
I’ve been dealing with a few issues that have hampered me physically and taken an emotional toll as a result. After months of physical therapy, acupuncture, and other healing modalities (red light therapy, infrared sauna, and Rx-1 Laser), I am starting to see improvement.
To be honest, I’m not used to dedicating so many hours to healing, and it has impacted my time writing, playing music, and engaging in unrestricted activities at the gym. But it seems that enduring these hours is necessary for recovery.
I’ve tried to focus on the fact that these are minor inconveniences, especially compared with those dealing with serious illness and injuries. I’ve had to accept that finding gratitude while in pain takes dedication, commitment, and the realization that every day is a gift.
