2014 Blog 322: Here Is the Thing

Here is the thing. You can go around forever searching for something you don’t know. You can sit and frown and be sad for something absurd. You can look up at the ceiling (or the sky), stare, and question what is incomprehensible.  You can just shut your eyes and be mad for something ridiculous.  You can tuck inside a blanket and fear at something you are even unsure.

Now,  here is the thing.  It is incredibly pathetic.  So,  you better stop running, take a breath, focus.. and decide what you want to look for.  You better give up frowning,  as it just makes you age a thousand years.  You better stop staring blankly and start seeing the beautiful things, no matter how nothing it may seem.  You better stop being mad, and start forgiving and just begin again and again. You better kick that blanket away, stand up,  and be strong.  You are brave. You will live.

Are you feeling okay?

Blog 2010: Tossing Away the Robo Boot

June 27, 2010
By Bebot

Finally.. I am able to disregard my robo boot.  I can already walk around without it.. almost normally.  Dr. Ri had warned me that I might  get too excited and might forget that my right foot is still fragile and can easily get re-injured.  He explained that I still need 2 more weeks for complete healing.  He is pretty so right about the total excitement that I have.   Gl had shook his head at me many times the last 2 days.  The kids on the other hand are as much excited as I am not caring what I would dare to do now.  Hahaha.   Though yes,  I am trying to be smart by being careful.

It is my second day now that I haven’t wore the boot at all, and I have gone out a couple of times to the store, to the bank, to Er’s vocal recital,  to the backyard  and toss my volleyball.  =)  I have also tried some yoga poses to see at what extent I can do it now.  Well, only little for now but not too bad.  It was so exciting to actually dance a little bit on my legs.  Oh boy that felt good. Although there are still certain movements that still spring out little pains, I know I am getting there.. soon to playfully chase the kids again around the house when I get home.  Last night, Nuwi had slept next to me not so afraid that he might hit my foot anymore. It’s been 29 days since I came home with a broken foot and swelling leg.   Today,  I have nicely parked the pair of crutches and the air cast boot at one corner of the house as a reminder for me to be still careful. The hiking sticks I have used in the past years are also now placed next to it as an inspiration.  Ah I can’t wait.
