My Quest for Peace - Day 6

I long believed that I was choosing to live focusing on health but I realized over the past week, I was allowing fear and not wanting to face my illness to actually cause me to focus not on living but on hiding from my illness.  I now see that I can truly live life if I choose to live life and deal with my illness (Parkinson's) but if I choose to ignore and hide from it, then I am caging myself within my illness.

The more you avoid, the more you live in fear.  I spent the past few years doing less and less walking for fear I would fall.  The less walking I did the more unsure of myself I became.  I am reversing that trend and working to live life more fully.

Waiting....

I feel like I am just stuck waiting ... waiting to figure out the next part of our lives.  We just have to keep waiting for answers, waiting for people to get in the office, waiting for this or that.  It is scary and hard since we cannot even figure out what our lives will be in a month and we don't know the best answers or what should we do.  Do we pack up and move far away or do we stay and gamble on more than a part time job.  Do we hang on here and plan or will we end up being broke and homeless.

  Time goes so fast.  It is now Lughnasadh.  We celebrate together as we all work to bring in the harvest.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of this year's harvest will be.
