A legend dies and life goes on...
It is a sad day. Elizabeth Taylor died. But then she'd had a long and interesting (and often privelleged) life. Lots of terrible things are happening all over the world (Japan, Libya, Soudan, etc.) and yet life goes on...
Like my back injury/pain. I am still hobbled like an old man. Walking stooped over and hesitantly. Pain is a constant reminder of my/our fragility. My chiro has no clue what I've done to myself or how. Nor do I.
At first I thought this would be over and done with by now...a couple of days and all better. But that has not been the case.
Then I started to panic that this was more serious. That I had really "f--ked" myself up...which maybe I have. But then I realized, LIFE IS SHORT. LIFE IS FRAGILE. LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL. In all of its manifestations. Good/Bad/Ugly. And I am not going to worry about that which I cannot do anything about. Nor am I going to live to my limitations. But rather to my limits!
I want to DARE to go / do / be / have what I want...what I can...what I dream...and I will live with the consequences. SO for now, I am committed to losing weight, healing my back and getting back in the saddle and training!!!
