I'm staying still and and full today...I will let my body heal as is desires and is attempting to do. The pain in my spine screams for attention and the only attention it will get is stillness and quiet. I was going to go to a meeting this morning...my home group, finish a project for a client, dod this and do that also and then I will do something opposite; sit still and be quiet and let the spirits ride instead of the mind, body and emotions.
I have my meeting thru reading David G's post below. He spoke...I felt...it's enough, actually more than I could have expected or come up with myself. That is what we do for and with each other in recovery. That is what being blessed (ho`o maika`i) is about.
Ouch Jerry! I am proud of you for not doing that stupid macho guy thing and pushing yourself. Now you sit still. Maybe it will keep ya out of trouble for awhile too!
OH how is that beautiful baby? You could hold that little one all day! Let everyone else do the work and you get the bundle back!
I am sorry you hurt. Were you hula ing in your grass skirt again and went a little too far?
hugs my friend/brother, debilyn

Staying still. Sounds so calming. Some have the ability to stay still in the midst of chaos all around them. I'm working on that; I have a long ways to go. take care! Love the avatar!!!!

I am sending you prayers, love and support for a healthy mind, body and soul Jerry. I am so glad we can reach each other through MIP and keep ourselves grounded in recovery. Some of my best days have been days I have had to hold still and rest, hoping this will be the same for you. Take care of you!
