JOURNALING:
Me – It’s All Good…again
I was motivated to do this layout as a sequel, of sorts, to my last About Me layout (Unexpected – Life-changing) that focused on my life-changing diagnosis that I have hip dysplasia and will need complete hip replacements in 5-10 years.
I purposely designed this layout using bright and happy colors. It’s kind of a celebration. A return to my happy self. A rediscovery of my equilibrium and inner peace…again. Why am I smiling now after the news about my hip dysplasia threw me for a loop three months ago? Well, I had to remember that my life is made up of so much more than me. It’s the life I have with my husband – my best friend, my confidante, my lover, my #1 fan. It’s my beautiful twin daughters we are raising who filled the void in our family lives two years ago. It’s about the family and friends I’ve been blessed with throughout my life. It’s about knowing that these important people are all part of my heart, my being.
But I had to give myself time. You see, there are times when none of these important people can be with me in that second, that minute that I really, really want them to be there. They all have their own lives to live, their own obligations and responsibilities. So, no matter how much I know and appreciate all of these blessings in my life, I need time to adjust. To grieve the loss of certain things I will no longer be able to do. To change my plans and perspective. Even if it meant leaving my happy place for a while.
Yes, I’ll need complete hip replacements in both hips 5-10 years from now…but I can still swim, ski, hike, bike ride, play with my kids, basically live. So I can’t run around a tennis court or jump to spike a volleyball with my girls as they grow older. I’ll leave that to my husband and coach from the sidelines (not a bad plan, actually).
So, I’m smiling now, inside and out. I’m back. I’ve returned to my happy place; back to the me that takes life as it comes and rolls with it. It’s good again. It’s all good. June 24, 2006
