Gabriel, Sebastian and Bosie!
I love the 4th of July because it's quintessential summer.
Once it's over, it may as well be Christmas.
It's all down hill into the autumn and our long, New Jersey winter.
But then again, that's all in my mind.
It will be summer right through till October like it always is.
Right now it's warm, semi-sunny with a refreshing breeze.
My bestests and I just went to synagogue for the yearly July 4th sermon delivered by our mentor and dear friend.
Now we're resting up to spend a night at the fair.
Fireworks!
Love 'em.
And no matter where we are at the fair?
I'll have my own seat...lol.
I don't want to look on the bright side of things.
I just want to be at peace with what is, exactly as it is.
I'm impatient about my knee but then again it's only been 4 weeks in the wheelchair.
Although the injury was at its peak on Easter Sunday I stubbornly walked on it for weeks until I relented and got the wheelchair (and crutches for around the house and short distances).
So for all my suffering I've only been taking care of my knee for about a month.
It seems like longer.
The deal I made with myself in my head was that I'd use the wheelchair till the end of all my summer teaching. My last summer class meets on my birthday, August 6th.
If at that time I still can't walk on it, I'll relent and see an orthopedist.
But I have a feeling that it will heal all on its own.
Besides all the other spiritual lessons I'm learning
(being at peace with taking help from others,
relying on people to help me,
accepting what comes to me,
practicing gratitude,
honoring my body by taking care of my health, etc.)
I need to learn
the big one:
PATIENCE.
Everything in its own time.
My body is in healing-mode even as we speak.
Let me be at peace with my body healing itself.
Let it do its job.
And it will.
Deep down, I know it will.
Freedom Day.
A day of independence.
Free from the tyranny of worry.
(fireworks explode)
Ohhh
ahhh
my favorite kind.
*Lisa's Video Pick of the Day*
It's not Freedom Day unless Will Smith is beating up an alien.
Happy 4th of July!
Don't set anything on fire that might explode in your face.
