So I’m sitting here feeling kind of grouchy – 3 weeks after emergency knee surgery, a bit painful, not able to move much, feeling sorry for myself… and slogging through email. Cheryl Bakke Martin, one of the EQ coaches in the network, sent me a video which suprised me.
As I watched this video, first I was resisting. "It’s so slow." "Come on already, it’s just a day…" But then as I listened and enjoyed the images, I started looking around. Today It’s rainy and I was grumpy about that too — but watching the video I started seeing that differently…
I began to wonder about the gift of this day, and my responsibility in receiving this gift. We all have choices, sometimes easy, sometimes hard – and our choices matter. So I decided to share this with gratitude and consider the possibility that it is truly a wonderful gift to be here, now, going through this complex experience of healing and learning.
If you watch the video, please comment below about your experience!
Warmly,
- Josh
