Letting go of letting-go!

June 10, 20168 Comments

A few years ago, I had a series of heart attacks.  From out of nowhere they stopped me in my tracks and made me reconsider everything about my life.  You could say they were a major crossroads; I've spent a great deal of time since focussed on "letting go" of the feelings I was left … Continue reading Letting go of letting-go!

Choosing to accept

Ok, so here's the thing..... Of course I'm grateful. Grateful for the new lease of life I've been given; for the amazing care at the hospital; the wonderful messages from friends; the visitors who've come to cheer me up; the constant, un-ending support from John.

I believe Acceptance is the second step to living a positive life with pain; whether your pain is emotional or physical. Acceptance not as a way of giving-in, but as a way of moving on, of focussing on the important things.

Kicking Pain in the “As” -Attitude

"You have a serious attitude problem young lady".... One of the most common sentences I heard at School as a child.  I did have "attitude" even from a very young age, though whether I would call it a problem is debatable.
