As I’ve posted before, I walk every day and have  for more than 10 years.  I started when I was pregnant with my son, (in order to quit smoking).   I got the okay from the doctor after I gave birth with the instructions that I  should start off slowly and consistently in order to make it into a habit.  She said that if I pushed myself too hard, too fast, the healing process would actually take longer.

And she was absolutely right, because at first I didn’t listen to her and I paid for it with hemmorroids the size of golf balls.  For those of you that have not had one, I can only describe it as absolute hell on earth.  No coughing, laughing, lifting, walking, turning, or sitting up without extreme amounts of pain.  It truly sucks.

I was forced to relax. Not an easy task for yours truly.  I could only live through it and pray that one day I would wake up and notice improvement from the day before.

And that is what healing feels like.

That realization that things aren’t as bad as they were the day before.

The trick is to embrace that feeling without overwhelming it.  Like a newly lit fire, you have to protect it and encourage it to grow.

There are many ways to encourage healing.  Music, art, friendship, laughter.  These all play an integral role in making things better.

Healing happens every day.

How are you holding up?

p.s. I’d like to thank Jennifer Louden for inspiring this post.  Her surgery yesterday went smoothly, Yeah!!  I’m sending prayers and healing energy out to her…….!!!

When you love someone

Today is Monday, which means it’t time for the Inspirational song of the week.

When you love someone by Kid Rock

Click the link above to listen to the song on You Tube.

(Special Thanks to my Awesome friend Debbie who brought over the CD the other night to play for me!  You ROCK!)

I never would have thought the Kid would be all inspirational, but he most certainly is in this song!   It’s nice to see and even better to hear.

Sing along with the lyrics below. ( Thanks to songlyrics.com )

Oooh..Ooooh
I tell you it will shake the earth beneath your feet
The light that shines will redefine your old beliefs
What you reap is what you sow and so it goes
Where you plant your needs is where your garden grows
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else, it will make you feel

Each day ain’t wine and roses
I doubt it’s meant to be
Always a cross to bear salvation don’t come free
A heart that beats is a heart that bleeds
And you know that’s true
So don’t deny yourself of something good for you
Before you do it for yourself, do it for someone else
That makes it real

Chorus:
‘Cause when you love someone
It don’t matter what you say
When you love someone
You will dance the night away
When you love someone
There ain’t nothing you can’t do
Ain’t that right
Yeah I want to love someone tonight

Will you believe in love or just sit around and judge?
Can you forgive someone or will u hold a grudge?
Cuz above selfishness there lies a bright blue sky
And wealth and happiness can be a long and lonesome ride
Yes it’s hard to steer yourself
Without that someone else to take the wheel
Take the wheel

(Chorus)

Do you believe in the art of growing old
Do you believe that rock n roll can save your soul
Do you believe in everything you do
Cuz when you do that’s when it all comes back to you
Before you think about yourself
Think of someone else
Do it for yourself
And do it for someone else

When you love someone -

Have a great week,

Pam
