Yesterday I woke up dizzy. Before I was even out of bed I was dizzy. I went to my Naturopath @ 5:15pm yesterday afternoon. Apparently I have pressure on my middle ear and it's causing dizziness.
I had so many things planned for this week, 5 appointments, a to do list that seemed vitaly important and multiple projects calling my name. Being dizzy and hanging low was not in the cards.
My aunt Velma is suppose to be having her 100th birthday party this Saturday. Today at 3:00 pm she will be going into surgery. Just a week ago she was loading a cement bag into her wheelbarrow to make a stepping stone for the county fair. Her plan was to make a stepping stone, go to the fair and have a fabulous 100 b-day party.
She and I have many things in common. Neither of us is going to be moving very fast today. We will not be doing what was on our lists, we won't spin, squat, dance, bend quickly, jump or skip. We wont travel to Spain, go deep sea fishing, climb the Rocky Mountains, plant in our garden or go for a walk at Cannon Beach.
There are a few things I can do today . Smile- yes that seems to require no balance; listen-depending on content; smell- as long as I don't bend but bring the aroma to my sniffer; I can type, I can read a little, I can visualize, I can talk, I might be able to take the dogs for a little walk, I can go outside. Make the most of this day- no matter the weather.
Today is still day number 369. That might be a very important day. My plans were rearranged. So what? It is what it is.
This morning, my mom talked to her dad , my grandpa. My very wise grandpa said "Sometimes when you put your foot down the ground is not there". In which case, I guess you look for an alternative place to put your foot.
Happy travels,
Denise
