Day 41 Kundalini Dance Meditation

Today I went to the Chopra Center with a friend to a Kundalini Dance Meditation directed by Sarito Sun.  It was wonderful and freeing.  I am now totally relaxed and feel great.  Thank you for the opportunity and for the friends to share it with.  What a fabulous Sunday afternoon.

Day 38 * 39 * 40 Did I Fail

Ooooo I have skipped a few days.  Not purposefully but it just slipped my mind.  Being in a depressed state will do that to a person.  I do have a lot on my mind.  I have a surgery coming up for my back.  Is it going to work this time?  Will I be in this kind of pain forever?  I mean I should be used to pain from the Fibromyalgia but this is different.  Fibro pain is unbearable sometimes but it is kind of like a cranky old friend, annoying but you know them so well you put up with them.  The pain from my back is another story.  It makes me feel old. I can't even walk half way across Walmart without hanging on to the cart for dear life.  Can't plan anything fun if there is walking involved.  No long walks on the beach.  I love to get grounded and am so grateful for the ocean and wet sand but some how it is not quite as satisfying when you stay in one place, a long walk on the waters edge brings such peace and solace.  I also miss my grandchildren terribly but that is a subject not up for public discussion but I only mention it in respect to what I said about having a lot on my mind.  

That is not to say there isn't anything to be grateful for.  There is always plenty of things to be thankful for.  The simple things like another day, the sun, stars and moon, the air we breath and the roof over our heads are all things we take for granted but could and should be thankful for.  I am thankful for the wonderful group of women that came together in my meet-up group The Visible Seniors.  I don't think I have ever had so much fun with girlfriends before in my life.  I am very grateful for my friend Ivy for helping me with a project, my chakra key chain.  I really love how it came out.  Thank you Ivy.  I am very grateful for my Fibromyalgia support group, FibroHaven, it provides awesome yoga thanks to our leader and teacher Dannette and our fellowship with other members during the periodical meetings where we support each other.  Thank you for that.  It is a wonder to be around people that truly understand where most cannot even empathize. I am thankful too for the color purple because it represents so many things and causes that are near and dear to my heart.

Did I fail?  I think not.  It is okay to take a break for a few days as long and I do not forget the goal and get back to it and do my best to catch up.  Breath in gratitude and breath out love!

Day 37 FibroHaven,Yoga & Healing Circle

We have this community of wonderful people that have fibromyalgia that share and support each other.  It is a safe place to say how you feel and what you are afraid of and be with people that really understand.  The Healing Circle was quite emotional but extraordinarily helpful tonight.   Just saying out loud the I have been feeling depressed helps me to feel better and feel the veil begin to lift.  The meditation during yoga before the meeting is another wonderful thing that happened tonight.  Letting go of the things that don't serve me.  I know this but it is not always that easy to do.  I am grateful for the ideal reminders from today!

Day 36 Passion Tea and C

 


When I am cold and feeling under the weather I like to drink hot herbal tea. Sometimes I like it with honey and lemon.  Sometimes I like it just plain.  Tonight I like it with an EmergenC in it.  It feels like I might have a chance to get ahead of the impending cold I feel coming on.  That would be ideal since I have a surgery date coming up.  I do not want to get sick.  I am drinking Tazo passion tea with an orange flavor EmergenC.  So thank you tea and C for the delish drink and the intent to be well and the overall good feeling.

Day 35 Learning English

It warmed my heart today to have to lovely young ladies that are foreign exchange students come to our coffee chat this morning.  They sought out and traveled by bus to find our group. It took 2 hours to get there and they just came to practice English with a bunch of people.  One girl was from Turkey and the other from Japan.  They were just the sweetest things.  It warmed my heart how sincere they were.  Thanks girls!!

Day 34 Getting through

I am grateful for the battle because when I get through to the other side, and I will it will be oh so sweet!

Day 33 Love me some friends

I had an accident yesterday, you know the one I mentioned falling like a klutz.  Anyway I really didn't think I had a concussion when I told you that but I have since rethought that conclusion. I have laid low today and I'm still feeling slightly dizzy and I have a major headache.  I have been very sleepy all day.  I just wanted to say how grateful I am to my sweet friends on Facebook for all there concern and for convincing me to contact my doctor.  I feel loved!
