accepting where you are

[Guest guest]

Dear QXers:

As many of you know, I've been going thru some huge health issues but

I wanted to share with you a pearl of wisdom that was given to me the

other nite when I went to see a chiropractor I used to go to last year.

When I told him my situation, he opened up to me for the first time

ever. He said four years ago he became very ill, went blind for

several years and couldn't read (something he loved to do), had panic

attacks, didn't sleep for two years and developed lymphoma. His

marriage also broke up and he went into isolation. Recently his best

friend moved to Florida. The reason he opens his office at l p.m. is

because he sleeps in in the mornings. This man who has been thru the

mill told me that the only way things could start to turn around was

for him to just accept where he was, to stop measuring from where he

USED TO BE. He had to forget about who he USED TO BE and focus on who

was in the moment. Besides adjusting my lower back, I thanked him for

the precious wisdom and knew that I had walked away with invaluable

advice that we can all use when we're going thru the valley of change.

And trust me, we all get our chance. Blessings and thanks for all

your good wishes and prayers, is Rotella
