When pain becomes a blessing:)


Woke up this am feeling worse than the past two days,  and was Happy to find out that it is the result of a kidney infection (I'll call the Dr later).  Yes I did say Happy, I'm Happy that I have some idea what is going on with my physically for I knew that there was more to it than just being down and exhausted from the emotional junk,  and Happy that I can feel the pain of it, as crazy as that may sound.  For years I remained so numb on so many levels that I didn't feel anything, good or bad.....I was just there, so for me feeling anything is a step up-lol.......And let me tell ya BOY CAN I FEEL TODAY!!!LOL
Had to laugh, came to work and read some stupid and funny redneck email......so of course I hit forward and  send it to all my peeps for a morning smile......and then it showed the list of who all it was mailed to and my EX was on there!  LOL.......I know I deleted him, I know I did, so the only thing I can think of is maybe he was in my addy book twice.......to funny.  Normally that would toss me over the edge with What if's and whys, but I thought "Oh well there is nothing I can do about it now-it was a forward with tons of other peeps on it, so he shouldn't see that as anything other than the mistake it was"  If not that is his business.......not mine.
I'm loving the whole "what you think of me is none of my business" and "put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror"......they keep me focused, and each day that passes with no contact with EXABF I feel stronger and stronger, my feet are hitting solid ground again and I do not want anywhere near that roller coaster again!!!........
Life is good, I am in pain, and sooooo very blessed:)
Thanks for letting me share.
keeping it simple

Shelly (((((HUGS)))))

Well Girl Sorry for your pain, but glad you can Idenify it, instead of stressing it, seems we are one the same path this morning ;) I woke up in "Pain" as well this morning only in differant form, and figure that too added to my last three days of Dread... But I think getting up with a differant Attitude helped... ALOT... Now I just have to get use to my Son's new Do...lol... For getting use to mine was ALOT easier... :) I guess I am just Greiving the Blondness...lol...

You hang in Girl, and you are doing great... Good for you for taking back you Will, and Seeing things thru... I Love the "Put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror!", that is one to think on... :) Suppose to be a beautiful weekend, I hope you intend to Enjoy it :)

Love, Hugs, & Prayers... Will pray for you that this too will Pass... "QUICKLY"...lol...

Love ya
Jozie

Sometimes the best thing that can happen is to be validated that we're sick and crazy. Other times, its that we have a right to our feelings. Great work love!

"put down the magnifying glass and pick up the mirror"

That is a very eloquent one that I hadn't seen before, I like it, thank you for sharing it.  MYOB works well for me too & it is a huge umbrella that catches me in my tracks & allows me to stay focused on *me*

Way to work it!
