It’s so healing to read your words! This is exactly how I feel in this moment. It’s weird to say there are parts on me that misses the long hours bedridden with no choices but to sit in the moment…after moment. Now I am healed and there’s so much to do! My mind is all over the place, wanting to do it all. Disability forced me to be still, take it slow, and have no expectations for what I could accomplish. Thank you for understanding this bittersweet feeling.

Whew, it’s not just me then! It’s an interesting challenge to figure out how to enjoy all that I can do without getting swept up in it and forgetting to make space for presence, stillness, and rest.

Exactly! I don’t want to loose the beautiful moments of peace and gratitude that came after a long surrender. But, my mind is suddenly so busy and chaotic. There’s so much activity I can possibly squeeze into everyday. I want to do it all! And that causes uncomfortable conflict.

" It is Hard to make peace with The present and with possibility all at The same time."

Exellent written Lisa 🙌.

I tend to do to much when The present is good and then crashing in to bad possibility.

It is so many things i want to join and do.

Sometimes life does not give you much of a choice, hospitalvisits, food, shower and school meeting for The kids in one day.

Next time i wont shower 😂.

Worry adds a lot of stress to my system 😓.

Friends and baking cakes and beeing thogheter wih my kids adds a lot of Joy.

Im glad you feel better💕. Stay in The present.

The Four seasons all in one day - what an excellent description of long covid! I hope the months ahead hold fewer blizzards and more and more mild days for you.
