Hi!
These last few weeks for me had a little bit of frustration and just some arrgh stuff.
Life's like that with its ups and downs. Amazing how a tiny leak can turn into a flood!
And although I do tend to stress and over think a bit, I’m also built to remember to look up, snap out of it and reset. I breathe, pray and then with gratitude take stock of my perfectly imperfect life such as it is.
We all have moments when the rim of our life plate glops over the edges. But then, time passes, and a walk (or chocolate!) helps. Putting life into perspective here's what made made these weeks worth celebrating anyway:
I DID find the right connections to take care of the repairs. (Yay Hailey!)
I DO have insurance for times like these.
And then:
I DID see a fawn and momma literally walk out from behind the garden's deer statues!
I DID witness the koi glide and flip up onto the shallow stones. (Is there such a thing as fish catnip?)
I DID make my mom laugh this week!
I DID check some amazing littles who got adjusted, who finally SLEPT and POOPED, giving their parents more education and hope.
I DID get to serve hundreds of adjustments this month to amazing practice members. The new ones, adjusted for the very first time, and my wellness members, some with me for decades.(whoosh!)
I DID get to wake up again, have a roof over my head, food in the fridge,,
You get it.
Our perfectly imperfect world can indeed weigh us down if we let it. But big picture: we can choose better. I CHOOSE to sing, to lift others, to smile at a stranger. I choose to see and appreciate the good. And I’m still learning. I'm taking classes to further improve my skills as I serve and remain passionate about vitalism. That there's a wisdom that animates our lives so we can adapt with more ease and self heal. I love being a Chiropractor and helping people to understand this concept.
So stuff happens, but then it passes.
Choose to let go and live in gratitude. When life happens, remember to Reset and ReJOYce! Of course getting adjusted regularly too helps us better handle all the stressors life surprises us with.
Maybe it's time for you to have a reset, to make your own gratitude list, and choose to take the best care of yourself you can. If it's been awhile since you've made an appointment to come in, call us. I get it, life gets busy! No worries; you'll always be greeted with a warm smile over the phone.
We look forward to seeing you and your family and we've got a beautiful spot reserved for you by the waterfall. Living subluxation-free is a great place to be and our healing space is truly a space of grace to come home to.
Summer's here: think reset tune-up, before and after your vacation!
So glad for our freedoms. Grateful to celebrate our liberties to choose natural and healthy options.
Happy 4th of July!
See you on the tables
