I M Perfect lady

Today marks six weeks since surgery and I feel at least 10 years younger!

It is quite remarkable how pain is so dense, and quite heavy to carry.

Like a negative friend who tries to drag you down with magnetic pull into a small life.

I didn't realize just how much of my energy was used up dealing with the pain, until it is more or less gone. Now all my energies are spent living.

I feel like I have been given a new lease on life.  

The adventures that now seem possible, has opened up my horizon!

I am so grateful that my pain was removable, that surgery deleted it from my life.

I also recognize, not all pain disappears so easily.

And, wonder more about the emotional pain we carry.

What does this do to a life?

How many negative magnetic pulls are stealing your life energies?

While removing people and situations that are negative isn't as easy as surgery, it is most necessary.

I feel the quiet calm of peace inside my life now. 

It was up to me to remove the parts of my life that were causing me pain and sucking the life blood out of me.

I do not believe we are meant to live a life full of pain and suffering.

Especially, when there are things we can do to remove the pain.

I understand, that there are some pains that will challenge you to live above them. To carry them along; but not let them define you. 

I was dragging a bad hip around with me, like a grumpy friend. I tried really hard to not let it drive my life; but instead to be in the passenger seat or even in the way back of the jeep.

Physical pain and emotional pain are different and will require different responses from us.

I guess, what I will take away from my hip surgery, is that we need to pay attention to pain of any kind and remove it when we can.

Living with chronic pain isn't something I have experience with. I would love to know how others live above it.

As for living with chronic dysfunction – I have some experience with that and chronic denial, and I work to set up boundaries against it.

Now I know it is to protect my good energies!

What I know for sure today, is life is so much brighter, broader and endless without pain!
