Last week I broke the news of my new dx. I have been trying to wrap my head and my heart around this "thing". I am not new to dis-ease. But this one shook my axis. As I go about setting up a lot, and I do mean A LOT of appointments (6) as of now, would you all pray for me please? The half-elven princess needs your prayers. Deep inside this armor, the warrior is a child...
This is from my personal stargazer entry a few days ago, pls read, maybe it will help you know where I am, and in the process also help yourself: It's been a long night and I woke up to the television on, bad girl..I left it on. One of my favorite movies is on, "Apollo 13". Why is it one of my favorites? Man it takes me back to a time of simplicity in my life. Young, wild and free...
Two famous phrases come to my mind from this movie:
"Houston, we have a problem!"
"Failure is not an option"
One is from the astronauts who were traveling in the rocket on their journey, the other from the head of flight control directing the rescue efforts to bring them home alive and well.
Two different phrases based on two different perspectives...how apropos.
Just like me. Was thinking as we all do about how I got to this place...3-mile island, diet, how could this happen, genetics...then it came to me, it doesn't really matter...what matter is where I go from here.
Just like Apollo 13, I have a group of flight engineers doing everything in their power to save my ass. I have friends and family to stand by my side whilst the world goes by ignorant of my plight. Like one of the astronauts, today, I too am sick, feeling lost in space and away from all things familiar.
I need to hunker down, nestle in my bed, drink my tea and nestle, not wrestle. AND Focus on that thought: I may have a problem...but failure is not an option.
I love my fellow astral travelers and will update my star journals as I can hopefully on a daily basis...I have come to treasure them and love them...to the moon! Heartprints, Bren
