So, the last few months have been a spate of health issues. So weird and sudden that i told my mother to get a pooja done. First, there was the ankle that led to bed rest. Then, the dry eyes and eye inflammation that made it impossible to see the screen and do computer based work for more than 2 hours a day. Then, the right shoulder just lost mobility one night, leaving it possible to do only small things.
But here's what that did.. it eliminated all distractions. It taught the importance of walking, cooking, raising a hand to paint or work on the keyboard.
And here is how I changed as a person:
- I smile more.
- I used to be grateful for my legs every morning, but never more than in the last 5 months. I REALLY know what a blessing it is to be able to see, walk and use your hands. There is nothing more precious than this.
- I smile at children and strangers a lot more.
- I used to wave at children from a bus or train. Now I really see the beauty of that action.
- I've started to see my life from that moment of death, and from there, there is only this thing that we need to do more of - love, hug and laugh. Meet friends. Spend more time with the family and accept them as lovely, special human beings that we have chosen to spend our lives with.

So use your eyes to locate your phone, use your hands to dial in, use your voice to fix a plan and use your legs to come down and catch up :)
positive attitude at play. your post shows that there are always two ways to look at a bad situation - be bitter or be better
Good, the mishaps had so many positives. It all depends on our attitude.
