last week, lying in bed sick for the second time in as many weeks, i thought of lora lea's roo game - getting up in the morning and saying "something wonderful is going to happen to me today." i thought to myself, “yeah right” (i am notoriously pessimistic when i am sick). but then i thought again, “what if something wonderful is happening to me right now? what if there is a reason, a purpose behind this sickness that i, with my limited vision, just cannot see right now?”
so many things in life that, at the time, seem the worst thing imaginable, have turned out to be the best things imaginable. i cannot always know the reasons, or the outcome. all i can do is trust.
so i have kept that thought with me - “something wonderful is happening to me.” this week so far i have broken a tooth, got up to a dead car and endured a day-long category 5 migraine. today i spend an hour and a half at the dentist. but something wonderful is happening to me. i believe that.
am i naïve? perhaps. stupid? some might say so. denying reality? maybe.
smiling and at peace? yes.
wanna play? ;)
