Recently my husband had a pain in the hip and the MRI showed Transient Osteoporosis.. He was advised to avoid putting load on the hip to avert a fracture. Overnight he came onto a wheelchair! That was a sudden change and the outcome of treatment, unpredictable according to the doctor. We had only one choice..not to dwell on the negatives but to keep our minds light. As my husband navigated the house to become independent on his wheelchair, making his Mocha pot coffee became a symbol of positive fragrance and laughter in the air. We spent a lot of time together reflecting on the struggles and the joys of life knowing that we can't predict the future but we can prepare our minds and hearts to accept what's in store. Meditation also helped us to take care of the mind and appreciate the value of the body:)

I catch myself when I am being 'unreal' by the tightness of my body and the closeness of the mind- as if I will not allow anyone in that ambit ! When I have let go of what I was hanging on to, I feel the space expand inside of me and I know then that is the real me! Everything is possible thereafter...
