Open The Door to Health and Fitness

" Leslie , a bad fracture that changes your life - forever . "

This is what the orthopedic surgeon told me during my fourth week after surgery checkup.

Tears , too proud to flow behind my eyes burned . The fragile layer denial disappeared. The reality hit me, hit me hard .

I mean that breaking two bones in his right forearm of my brave and noble self .

Quite the contrary . I felt weak , vulnerable, and not so alone. I knew that I was the lone warrior in this battle of pain , disability and recovery, despite loving support instead.

I hated those odds : only. I cried - a lot.

Worst of all , I was scared . Afraid that I would never be the same . I need my arm to my work , my writing , my work and my children - I'm worried about my children worrying about me .

My fear and selfishness were fueled by the honesty of the doctor.

I was ready to get into my pity party , but he had fallen - the Sisters "G " Gerty Get-a -Grip Greta and Gratitude. I double teamwork, they were a formidable force fierce - impossible to ignore. Believe me, I tried, but they were right in my face . Who invited anyway? I loved spending time with my friends Wendy Whiner club .

Get- a - Gerty not remember if gently Grip

" Leslie , not paralyzed or without an arm or a leg Some diseases do not have in your body that do not break your neck - .. It's just a broken arm, for love of God fractures heal .. Get a grip , girl .

" And even if it was more serious than a broken wing can still learn to fly, if only in spirit . Opens his eyes and heart and receive the inner strength and courage of these heroes that rise above the difficulties permanent , loss , constant pain , permanent disability and / or illness.

" The human mind is the way of strength and inspiration. "

And Gratitude Greta added :

"Seed happen to any of us - not a question of" if " , it's " when " are the same flaws that give you the opportunity to deepen and grow within them form your character Dan soften his heart ... compassion , empathy and love - love of self and others , love.

The seeds of the "creative spark of life and shed light on the priorities , possibilities and promises.

" The seeds of life are opening the doors of consciousness, on your heart and your soul's purpose .

" Be grateful for the seeds. You are who you are because of them , not in spite of them. "

Ok , ok , girls "G " . I got the message . It goes something like : " Get over yourself , a friend , and move on - Be all you can be and do what you can do - and with a grateful heart . "

The doctor was right. My life has changed forever, and only time will tell the depth and magnitude of this change , the change in my body, mind and spirit.

Still afraid and sneak into this pity party ? ABSOLUTELY - many times. Fortunately , Get- a- Grip Greta Gerty and Gratitude (yes , still lag behind ) love to get through the skin of the neck and dragged me away skinny, against his will, all these disgruntled Wendy .

I remember a quote from Boris Pasternak :

" When a great moment knocks on the door of your life , is often no more than the beating of his heart, and is very easy to miss. "

God knew he had a hard head a nasty blow to the eye. After that , slip , fall , crisis, grief, and at first I thought , " Oh , no, I broke my arm - How it works " , I'm finally listening - at least I hope I - well, at least part of the time anyway .

Any words of wisdom , my friend? I'm all ears .
