My life has been full of life lessons. Some of these lessons are not so pleasant and some are amazing. However, each and every one has made me the person I am today. When I share my life lessons, it is in hope that someone will have also experienced this and won’t feel so alone or that someone will find a new found lesson that they can relate to their life.
I am having surgery today and am very nervous. The last time I had surgery, I ended up in the hospital for nine months instead of three days. I swore I would never have surgery again. But I have no choice in the matter. My gallbladder needs to be removed. This makes this week’s Road to Me Monday even more important. I have put this day in God’s hands. There is no other way to experience less stress and anxiety. He will take care of me. He will protect me. I am sure of this. I am quite nervous. Please keep me in your prayers.
What compassionate traits that we all should strive to reach! I treat others as I wish to be treated and I love in the same manner. I am not a greedy person, and people that know me well enough will tell you that I am the exact opposite in that I tend to take on more than I should because it is in my nature. It truly is a selfish thing, believes it or not. Helping others and going through life with a lovely heart makes me a better person. I can get up in the morning and go to bed at night knowing that I did something good for someone that day. I like to help people; maybe I use it to validate my worth. That being said, who cares as long as that person gets what they need and I feel good about myself in the process? What is your internal process for feeling better when times are low?
