Wow Elizabeth that was so beautifully said! I love the freedom you express here, it is so true that it is our own hinges that keep us down. And thank you for your wish of good health to me, I am sending you the same

Things are sometimes the shackles we place in our lives so that it restricts us from having the peace we always seek. we treat things, those inanimate objects, as though they were people that need to be honored and kept. instead they should be treated as temporary possessions and places that hold our spirit and express our creativity. Who you are is not in our homes or possessions they are in our hearts in souls. So for now Laura your spirit has no physical representation what a gift cause you are allowing your spirit to grow unincumbered, free and ready to create a new window dressing!
I love the hot and cold exercise and of course it came at a perfect time for me. That is no coincidence! your words continue to inspire me. your candor is a fresh breath that encourages me to reflect and remember we are free, born free, die free its the hinges we surround ourselves with that hold us down…..if we allow them to! continued good health my friend.

I love this Melisa! That was so well said, visualizing structure instead of plan! You are right we get way too caught up in planning as a way to feel organized, when adding a little structure is maybe all we need to give ourselves time to rest and rejuvenate. The best plans come from feeling relaxed:)

Great post Laura. I can’t wait for part 2. I think I have created more structure over the last couple of years in dealing with chronic pain without really knowing what I was doing . . . I think I need to look at this more as things get busier at work things are starting to change in my career and health habits. I struggle with not clinging to expectations and making a plan . . but perhaps this blog post will help me visualize structure instead of “a plan” which is too rigid to allow for rest.

This is an excellent reminder – we had a dinner party at our condo last night and we had some last minute cleaning to do before our guests arrived. i got mad at my husband for not cleaning “right” . . . i shouldn’t let these things create tension in me or in our relationship, they just aren’t that important. and i knew that at the time but kept on doing it. Thank you for reminding me to just be okay with who i am, where i am, and let people be who they are too. very helpful.
