A tough week it has been. The weekend was the closure of something from the past. Tuesday, I had teeth surgery, so that I´m free after so many years of pain and despair.
I will get my new teeth in a couple of months. Yes, healing takes time. It hurts, it burns, it itches. But I know that I´m so close now, so I can manage it. My husband is a true friend, too.
Monday, I sold my car. I don´t like driving anymore, and I don´t want to pay for it anymore. We prefer to take the car for the handicapped that it is possible to call. It is not even expensive.
Tuesday, I was a nervous wreck until my operation was over. They helped me so much, and for that I´m both grateful and happy as a child. And for every day, the pain will lessen.
Wednesday, I spent bingewatching TV on the couch. I was exhausted after the operation and took the whole day out of the calendar. Yesterday, we continued to rest as much as possible.
Today, I went for a morning coffee at an old friend´s place nearby. Here, I feel as safe as at home. We haven´t seen each other for some time, therefore, we need to remember common ground and begin anew.
So, it is a week of resolutions and new beginnings. It may hurt for a little while, but then life moves on. The past cannot be undone. The future is unknown. Only in the present moment, there is a chance to live life to its fullest.
Last week, I wrote about having better things on my mind than betrayal, mistrust, and alienation. Sometimes life, you have to stand up for yourself and your loved ones.
It happens to me, whenever I feel my self-respect threatened. Then, I say no, so that nobody can misunderstand anything. And I close my door, for here we don´t compromise ourselves at any cost.
My writing is postponed for the week, but I believe that I´m ab le to begin working a little bit tomorrow. But I take time to rest, if I feel the least tired due to a combination of pain and discomfort.
Our new resolutions are as follows: never to accept lies, never to allow ourselves to be treated badly, and never to be taken for granted ever again. And the new beginnings only depend upon our own free will.
It is a great relief to not be the owner of a car that would have been way too expensive to keep. And it is wonderful to have my teeth fixed so that they never again will be able to hurt me.
So, now I get a perfect smile when the healing period is over in a couple of months. It is appropriate since I´m have been asked to participate in both a creative club and to become a peer worker for people with bipolar disorder.
Sometimes, you have to change what you no longer can accept. And to accept what you cannot change. The difference, that´s where life experience is a clear advantage.
Now, I will wish you a happy and peaceful weekend, dear readers and followers. May the Sun shine on your path, may the Moon guard you by night, and may the Universe grant you happiness, inner, peace, a good health, and happiness.
So mote it be.
