Morning Blessing Gift Of The Sacred

Thank you for reminding us of that which we take for granted - our breath.

"Your gift today is the sacred." How lovely.

Hearing that how I treat my body makes a difference to myself and others hit me unexpectedly hard and deep. I do my best in that regard - most of the time. As a person with multiple chronic medical conditions (most stemming from a few genetic differences) plus being post-major surgery, I occasionally have days when trying to maintain my 6-7 times a day medication schedule plus eat properly, get enough rest, and exercise to maintain muscle tone becomes overwhelming and I want to skip every last bit of it. I may be returning to work soon, which will add additional challenges on top my doctors are okay with an occasional missed day once in a while, but I try not to. I had always thought it was because I know the right thing to do and I am stubborn as a mule. Until I listened to this track moments ago, it really hadn't occurred to me on any gut level that my choices of how I treat my body makes a difference to other people, too. I knew this on a very basic, likely temporary level since I have not been permitted to drive or lift over 5 pounds since the surgery and have had to rely on others for assistance. But this made me realize it's more long-term than that. My choices now will affect my body in the future, for good or ill. That in turn will affect those around me. I suddenly saw the reflection on this in how my husband's improved treatment of his body has left him stronger and better able to assist me as I have needed the aid. We are all intertwined on this world spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Thank you for helping me to truly realize the latter. I see the light in you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻

Wonderful gift. Like the succinct to the point message. 🙏🏼🌈🙏🏼
