Beloved,

Have you come through this unexpected heat wave with a smile? Mother Nature is certainly having fun being on her swing. I think it is a chance to practice being in the now moment.  It is all you have and it will change. It certainly was like living in Florida’s summer.

I have had an occasion to renew my HOPE. 17 days ago, I fell in my home and landed on my knees and wrists.  It is the first time I even realized that you can get bruises on your wrists. The pain in my knees was excruciating but I could stand and even walk a little so I did not think I broke anything. I did not go to the emergency room primarily because of the CoronaVirus. Two days later the pain was much worse so I went to my Primary Care and she ordered an MRI.  Thus began an adventure into the medical field. I could not get an MRI for 7 more days because the doctor or her people did not put STAT on my order. Finally 3 days after the MRI, I finally got a result from my doctor and she said that it was a fractured tibia and possibly a torn meniscus. A wonderful orthopedic doctor, Dr. Burns squeezed me in but could not see me for another 6 days.

All of this time, I was losing hope in getting better.  I tried not to think of not walking ever again or needing a wheelchair for the rest of my life. My advice I am trying to give you is to go to the emergency room as they get you diagnosed and fixed right away. I wish I had, it would have saved me a long two weeks of ignorance and pain. But…I have my hope back again. I have a hairline fracture of my tibia but NO torn meniscus.  The doctor said it would take 6 weeks to heal and I have gone through the worst of it so there is no need to cast it and he will take an x-ray in 4 weeks.

This seems to be a week for hope and signs of it are popping up everywhere. Lee Harris has a great video for us on Rebirth and creating joy.

I had no idea that our country is doing so well in cutting down the number of jails and repurposing them.  There is HOPE

My mom had dementia so this really hits home for me.  She had forgotten my name but whenever she was asked who I was, she would reply: ”That’s my daughter”. This is an amazing story.

Let’s not forget the animal kingdom.  Even they have angels watching over them.

I will end with a hilarious solution to juggling too many things at once.

Love and Light
