on this very day 51 years ago i was hit by a car - i was on my 10 speed bicycle , I spent the next six or seven months and a body cast, and could not sit up or do very much at all- every year at this time I reflect on that accident today I process it all as a total miracle- for many years I was concerned with pain injuries deformities and all things i could not do - however sitting here tonight i was thinking - none of those physical things ever really played out in relation to my happiness - i NOW understand deeply it’s ALL MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL - how we feel and how we overcome - I really thought in the early days I would never be able to do anything- as it turns out I’ve done an awful lot of stuff over the past 51 years- and yep my knee still hurts- but it’s no big deal - as my life runs on love , loving , being here , being engaged - empathy - COMPASSION and patience and humility and the knowledge that EVERYONE IS GOING THROUGH SOMETHING - i was indeed the lucky one and am just so grateful to be typing these words ! THIS TOO SHALL PASS AND ONE DAY AT A TIME . ENJOY THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY !
