Hey y’all- checking in from Recovery Road. Tuesday will be 4 weeks post surgery and NO pressure on my left foot. Shout outs to all for checking, sharing, reaching out and for your prayers. Grateful and Blessed with community that supports. 🙏🪽😊
People ask me how I am doing? Instead of the cursory “good” or “fine”- I answer as authentically as I can. I am ok and struggling through each day with new experiences and perspectives.
Seeing things through crutches, walkers, scooters and doing everything on one leg (lots of hopscotch!) makes everything from grabbing a cup of coffee to making the bed a Tabata workout. I often think how the right side is gonna be a peach and the left side is gonna be a wrinkled prune 😂😂😂
Surrendering my wants for Gods needs is difficult for this independent get’r done woman. There have been tears, frustration, laughter and love. 💕
Practicing daily what we work on with our horse partners has shed more light on the impact and life changes that are so important for all people. Breathing, giving myself grace, accepting the here,now- all things we practice regularly and horses are so good at doing.
Everyone we are blessed to work with deals with similar struggles each day- the struggle is real.
So this is my choice; choose joy and experience in a new way how important mental, physical and emotional health is. This message is really for me and I hope it blesses you as well. 💕
Perhaps this is what James and Paul mean when counting our trials as joy because we are chosen to impact the world for Christ. James 1:2-4 NIV
I am ok! So are you! We will be ok together in this space. Love you all 🧡🐴
