Welcoming Ghosts

7/7/2018

The anticipation feels like it is going to eat me alive. The day after tomorrow, I will have a brand new spine. As I sit with my anxiety, I am reminded that instead of "worrying" I should be "curious." It is not like I want to chase this feeling away or take drugs to dull it...but it is notably fucking uncomfortable to FEEL the adrenaline pumping. No one to Fight. No where to Flight. No need to Freeze. My body simply "knows" it is time to gather all its resources to help me out.

It's fascinating. Is this a Challenge or a Threat? Just a challenge.

In fact - an opportunity for growth and a newly found sense of stability and purpose. 9 years ago today that bus came along and knocked me down, obliterating the life I knew. My critical incident. Then came the Ghosts.

Knock, Knock. Who's there? Your Past.

I had fought those ghosts for so long, it never occurred to me until way later to stop slamming the door on them...and instead, to invite them in. They just want to be seen and heard after all. And how about, Celebrated? Like the welcoming force ushering me into the next chapter of my life.

Thank you, Ghosts. I appreciate this Challenge. You are no longer a Threat to me. "Appreciate" means to "go up in value." I appreciate you and the mark you have made on my soul. Who would I be without you? KEEP GOING!

It is natural when something happens to us, especially accidental injury, to seek a reason in our actions. Well accidents are just that and not everything is connected to reason. Don't waste time trying to arrange in your mind why something happened. Just relax and be. If you learned from an experience, wonderful, but to think that something, like an accident, happened to us because of prior behavior misses the point. Shit happens to good people and bad people and reason is sometimes present, but most of the time an accident is simply that. Free your mind and look forward to better times free of pain. Remember we are the stuff that dreams are made of and the true miracle is life itself!

    She's sassy. She's serious. She's silly. She shares these two words..."Me Too." (Before they were a thing.)
