Today and yesterday I have been putting to practice the mindfullness skills i learnt in the hospital and with my psychologist.
They are allowing me to be in the moment and just feel what is happening rather than an over analysis.
Today when putting up the chrissy tree with hubby and kids I felt an absolute joy as my youngest paraded arund in his santa hat and as we all went into the ornament box looking for our favourites to hang on the tree.
My youngest pulled out santa on a bulldozer, my eldest pulled out a santa playing soccer, hubby pulled out an ornate fish wiht glass pieces. I asked to have two ...and I pulled out a small ornament each of my sones had made over the last few years
They are each a ball decorated wiht bright coloured materials and for me they are very joyous things, they ae very tactile
I then tripped and fell on something left on the ground and my mind went immediately to this arnt i helpless, everyone needs to look out for me...to a sense of rationale thinking...shit happens blind or not it happens...dont spoil this moment, feel what is in the moment and I did and went back to my feeling of joy
Mindfulness is connecting me with whats going on around me and I am so grateful.
I have lost my sight but not my vision.
I maynot see you but i can hear you, touch you and be with you.
I am so fortunate
Be well my friends
