Rekindling Life & Spirit

I don’t think it’s necessary to go into details however shortly after the New Year there were many things which I had as major stressors nearly every day. I ended up at emergency.  I would suppose that the combination of several things were much more than one person could do family, as well as other avenues which all added up.  I spent a few days within the emergency unit as my blood sugar levels were much too low.  I could go on with this but two weeks past, my doctor in concert with one tremendous lady which is part of the health care system made some arrangements for a respite.  I guess I was pushing things myself as well as there was far too much on my shoulders.

Upon being given several options I thought that a respite away from my home would be good and I arrived here today.  I shall see how it goes within this small town and to not have that time not have an obligation and just take each day as it comes shall be good I think. During this time the weather became so cold and within a few days the forecast is that it warms up – as it has literally gone down to 50 below zero within the last few days. Within a few days the weather is supposed to be back up there and I do have an open agenda within this town and I am thankful for that.

I believe I shall stay here within this place for the next few months. Who knows? I do like it. Small towns are nice and we shall see how it goes but thank god as I am in good hands, as well as I know I have my own work cut out for me.  And while here I do place to nurture back as again I came very close to blowing out a gasket.  It’s been a humbling experience but there is something that can come about from anything if I wish for it to be.  I think this was truly within the coming as I had spoken with many and to my surprise most of it I already realized. 

I have always been very determined, yet many things did add up. I don’t think it’s necessary to mention all but what I do look towards is my own independence was I can live life and readapt.  All things concerning back home are taken care of and again it’s time for setting goals.  The goals that are with the intention of what I wish to do.  I have always been very family oriented – yet one friend of the families told me that I may very well have to let it all go for the next six months if not a year for my own health. When she said it, I already knew that was the only manner that this could be done.

I made a visit to my folks and I spoke with my mother, she started to cry as she knew very well the family things which were going on and she is getting older. I hugged here and told here that I shall see here within a few months and I must say this is a very hard thing to do.  I do pray that she does regain here health completely – but while I was en route to this place in which I arrived today the person which was with me said that she well understood the situation and that I do need to take this much needed time to render back my own health.

Where I am, is a small town which is an hours drive from the city I reside in and now I do have goals of which I can do in a holistic manner and without the obligations.  There is something to be said for living life freely.  As I believe that this was long in the coming and it’s better late than never.  I don’t fret on the past, nor do I worry, and I do have to get back my strength and as well I have written much on life within this blog. Tomorrow, I begin living again and around here there is not that much to do. What I do look forward to is nature, and bringing both mind, body and spirit back – as this is something I see as not easy, nor too hard.  Upon the day that I leave this town more than likely shall be either within the spring or summer. 

Right now it’s contentment within simplicity and I am glad today that I finally have had the chance to make a post. I do have my work cut out for myself but sometimes things as such do happen and I am not too proud to say that I got through the last month and that I look forward within the future of the journey ahead.

Sincerely and with Honesty,

 

Jack

  2. some things are out of our control--let them go---that which is within our control we deal with and then let it go---right or wrong--let it go--start anew--sometimes moment by moment--take a moment to breathe--take a moment to feel--take a moment to reason before reacting----

  3. Hello I wished to finish this tonight and I am doing a good healing and one thing that I know more and more as the years pass is that I believe that sharing within a honest manner is holistic as well. I shall get to read other blogs but right now I just arrived here this morning and I am very pleased that I took this option.

  6. I shall and I am glad that I came back to this before heading off and if I had not done this respite. I don't think
    I would have been tending to my health. And one more day of drastic cold and then comes many things which
    are set up and some which I have sent up myself and that is back to walking not stopping and I have a challenge
    from a friend to run this summer in a marathon and I shall. It's an advocacy marathon for Cancer.

  13. Rodney this is I am far better than what I have been over these two weeks as prior to that it was a roller coaster. I see this as a
    healing and rejuvenating time. Small towns are great with this away from the hustle and bustle - hopefully today is a warmer one and
    I can take a walk to the town area, as well there is a few spots over the weekend that I wish to hike but I have to build back up my legs as
    I was very seditary. I am not sure what all goes on here but most importantly is just enjoying the simplicity.

  16. "contentment within simplicity" is my key for happiness.
    Small towns are the best place for living and see the life passing by us. Stay blessed, my dear Jack, take care of you and enjoy this ephemeral whisper that our lifes are.
    Be happy!

  20. Smart decision, too bad you had to come to it after suffering more than you should have. You think some people can't do without you, they can. Enjoy yourself!

    ReplyDelete
  21. This was not easy and there was a few hard times with it all - but I have not given up anything but I do believe that I can do without some for now and enjoy life. I believe that it was the best decision I made. Right now I am focusing on bringing about a pleasurable life. And within this duration I have met some tremendous people. I ............WAS......exhausted and now I can begin to write it all out but I truly am enjoying this here.
    It was smart but I don't think I had many options when it really came down to it. And I am certainly glad that I have.

  22. No I am staying within what really is a bed and breakfast, lunch and supper - which has a trained medical aid.
    But they are really decent people.
