How many times is it that we need to hear and experience something before we understand it? Seven? Eleven? I can't remember. Today is one of those reminders.
As of last Friday, it had been a week since I had worked at the office. In that time, I had rested enough that I was starting to feel better. I even told Mark that it was possible that the surgery wasn't even necessary. (Stop laughing!) I was starting to believe that maybe all of this was just in my head and that if I just concentrated hard enough on remaining positive and being strong that this could possibly go away. Then today happened....
This is the first day I've been in the office since the 4th of December. I bounded into the office at 6:45 this morning, very happy to sit at my desk and look around at all of the things that make me smile (pictures of my girls, a disco ball, my black patten leather shoe "Grace" award, a mannequin arm, and a flag football trophy). I felt great! I think I made it through 3 emails and one conversation w/ a coworker before I needed a cart to drag my hind-end through the hallway again. :)
So, the next time I say that I don't need this surgery or that I'm "great", you have my permission to offer up a friendly reminder.
Why is it that we learn so slowly? Or is it just me?
