Hold On

As I lay here slightly paralyzed in excruciating pain from a lower back injury, a broken toe, and recovering from a surgical procedure, I really have to laugh because what else is there to do?

I rarely have back pain, thank goodness, and I empathize with those that DO because it’s really debilitating!

How did I hurt myself? It doesn’t matter HOW, what matters is that I do dumb stuff all the time and that’s how I broke my toe for the thousandth time, too. Two separate incidents, but both on the same side of my body.

I could feel sorry for myself, but that’s not productive, right? OK, I confess that I do feel a LITTLE sorry for myself, but I’m trying to make the best of it. This pain can’t go on forever; it never does. Bright days are ahead, I believe that. I have faith.

And, If I just hold on
Hold on tight
Will the fair wind take me
To where the sun does shine bright
There be no more talk of dark days
Only sun shine days of light
If I just hold on
Hold on tight
Taken from “ A Little Book Of Poetry “ by Athey Thompson

Hold On, one of my fave songs of all time.

How synchronous. I was just thinking the same thing recently. To just hold on. Sorry about the pain though – it does suck.

To me it feels like I’m holding on to a piece of wood from a shipwreck; just hold on. That’s all we need to do. That’s all we CAN do. Hope you’re OK.

  Yup. I hear you. I’m hanging in there- just still not myself yet. Still working on it.

  We have to. I mean nature needs time to fix things. My shoulder injury is finally beginning to go away — but it’s taken a month. OK. I have that. ❤
