Walking in the shoes

Super hero shoes

Time and space are all mixed up. Can't find a connection to my life at home or myself in many ways. 2011 time. I am in a time warp, in a space age, luxury apartment in another world. My child is disconnected too. He is full of media- games, cartoons, movies. Too cold to go out for long. It is below zero and then the wind colder still.

We are here and now. Without much sense of what will come or the future plans. This rather sudden illness has taken the largest precedent over everything else we had planned for this trip. My mother-in-law is very ill, though her recovery is better each day since her surgery. We are here at this time and space, in this life.

It makes me appreciate the small things. The great gifts we have, the great food, the gifts of love. That is, if I can allow myself to enjoy the moment rather than worrying about who or what I am or am not, what or how child is behaving and, worst of all,- worrying about what others need or don't need and I am unable to understand. How crazy is that? I'll just try to stay with the appreciation , the gratitude of today and not  the "am"s or "am not"s. That is my personal committment on this day.
