Desert Diva

I’m not a very “religious” person.  However, I strive to tune into my spiritual side.  Much has been going on in “the life of me” as I attempt to find balance in all areas of my life…

Have you ever had the experience where you were “just talking” to a person, and something catastrophic happened to them?  Without going into great detail, one person I spoke with on the phone recently passed away suddenly and another I met at my neighbor’s house just last Friday playing Mexican Train had emergency heart surgery on Sunday.   Life is fragile…

Today I saw Dr. Pirela-Cruz (my orthopedic hand surgeon) for the umpteenth time.  It’s been a long two years recovering from my broken wrist and today I can pronounce I’m “healed.”  OK, well healed for the most part…  The bone graft finally “took” and the osteotomy filled in.  I’m glad the bone graft “took” – not only for me, but for the person who donated it didn’t do so “in vain.”

However, I’m experiencing some ulnar side “discomfort,” and if it’s too uncomfortable Dr. Pirela-Cruz will do a “fix.”  The pain is minor and I wear my “brace” when it hurts a lot…

Additionally, I’m going through a process of “forgiveness.”  I realize that I don’t necessarily need to “forget,” but I do need to “forgive.”  At times, I hold onto grudges toward people who I feel have “wronged” me like some sort of “badge of honor.”  That’s not to say that I don’t have “boundaries,” but the “badge” has got to go.  Recently, I was touched by the care and kindness of someone that I had built a wall of hatred against.  Life can be humbling…

Even though I don’t always acknowledge it, God has always had me “near her/his heart.”  When “push comes to shove,” I know that my life has meaning and purpose – and things are going along according to plan.  Not always MY plan, but a plan to help me to evolve to my true spiritual self.

What more can I ask?

Spread the Love!
