Piddlin' Along

Piddlin'? Just what is that anyway?

It's the act of taking productive baby steps and making small strides over large amounts of time. That's exactly what life has been like for me lately. I press forward... piddlin' my way  along this wellness journey. Sometimes, I am encouraged by th sense of community around me and other times I have to encourage myself.  Othertimes, I joyfully fall flat on my face until an ache here or there serves as my body's built in alarm system. It tells me that I have gone way off the deep end and that while simple indulgences here and there are fine; I must continue to stay the course in order to stay well. Walking the walk is not always easy. I realize that I am not a super-shero after all. I am in fact, quite a human who is practicing the daily walk of Being.

I am aware of showing up for myself daily in the most authetic way that I know to at the time. I am humbled always by the fact that somehow, I am always grounded in my process, walk and journey.

When I was super sick years ago with Fibro, I asked for healing. I realize that it is at hand and always has been available to me. It (healing and recovery) is not something that always happens in an instant. Sometimes it begins with a change of mind which then influences core beliefs, change of habits/lifestyle which in turn ultimately creates the sought after (or not sought after) results.

The bottom line is that we are always creating something and at this moment I choose to create the miracle of continuing to feel better.That starts with the daily renewal and committment of just keeping it real and doing my best. That's all I can ask of myself. Period.
