Dear Friends,
It is Christmas Eve. I don’t know what this time of year is like for you, but I do hope you are with people who care for you, or that they are accessible remotely, if not. Here is a reflection that I would like to share with you today:
🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄
As I begin this Christmas Eve, I take a deep breath… and I exhale. It doesn’t matter how or what I am feeling, I choose to trust that I will make it through today. Even if painful and bizarre things are happening to my body and/or mind, I will still make it. I will pace myself but also engage with my friends and family as much as I am able to or want to… as much as the signs of healing permit. More than anything, I will be gentle with myself.
I take another deep breath… I exhale… and I tell myself that no matter what unfolds today, no matter how intense the signs of healing are, I choose to believe that every cell, muscle, tissue, nerve, fibre, system and function of my body is being renewed… I know that I am healing.
I know that with every day that passes, I am one day closer to my recovery. This is all I need to keep in my awareness, in order to cope with today… and so I will.
With much compassion,
Baylissa 💛
