Just take a moment to imagine...yourself... One day you wake up. ..and your legs don't remember how to walk. Or carry you...They have no strength. ..this may have happened to you. . Then you would know the feeling I am describing. ...if not I sincerely hope it doesn't happen to you...
The overwhelming uncertainty. .and the sense of claustrophobia. .
Here I was, well onto the road to recovery. .I tried to get out of bed after nearly two weeks on my back.. and it's so funny how your muscles forget ..my legs had lost all its strength and didn't remember how to support me..they weary ...tired and lifeless. .
This story is being told for a lesson it has been teaching me in the past few months. .ironically a lesson in walking forward with those that hold your hand and once your strong enough you march on..it was a minute handicap at the time. . but the lesson its teaching me is significant
When the physio tried to get me out of bed she said sit down, first wiggle your feet, stand up and take steps to your left and right. .and so I did. .
After which she said that should be enough let's try more tomorrow. .. but my mind said no I want to do more I want to keep walking.. during this time I had no sight but was lead by my physio and nurse. .
So I kept marching ...literally
.as she asked me to. . And walked in one spot a little bit more. .and I surprised myself at how fatigued and worn out I was. .that was a very frustrating feeling. .that motivated me.to take bigger steps each day and look forward to my daily physio treatment. .it was uphill but in hindsight it was worth it. .
Isn't it similar to life. ..Sometimes we put barriers or let society set boundaries for us . which limits us from walking. ..moving forward. And moving on...
It limits our stride and it cages our soul..
Only if we push on, even when we may not see what the next step offers we move forward. .. that's what we have to keep doing. ..no looking back.
Only look back to remind yourself how far you've come ... then eyes forward ..
Days after, I had people walk
me take me to see the sunset through the big window.. even though my eyes couldn't bare the light the fact that I was moving gave me hope. ..
It's scary but also liberating to know that; circumstances, people, issues, fears can stop you.. barricade you from moving forward. But what's better.... the fact that you have the power to say this is not how it ends and push forward. .. choose your steps wisely and the path is yours to pave..
Take that journey daily I've learnt. . Wake Up with the decision to move forward ...and your day will be brighter. .
There will be obstacles no doubt. . But jump those hurdles , cross the shaky bridges, walk through puddles and dance in the rain..
Keep walking. .
Thank you for following my blog and for all your words of kindness and love we receive. .we are blessed more than we deserve we are thankful and to those who were with me thank you for walking forward with me...
