Better Now Than Later...

I've been really, really sick this week. Fever, coughing, headache...the whole nine yards. And I am struck by the timing. I had hoped to be on the diet by now, but my supplies aren't here yet. So, I was feeling impatient...but having this cold and NOT being on the diet has allowed me to use cough drops, etc. so I can get a little rest.
It's funny, because I've been reading a lot about things that in our mind we label 'good' and 'bad'. It had seemed to me that waiting this long for the hcg was 'bad'...I was feeling like time was a-wastin'. But I felt a sense of peace come over me when I got sick, realizing how MUCH worse I would have felt, how much harder it would have been to be on the protocol and to be sick. Labels about things being 'good' or 'bad' are unnecessary and potentially limiting to our growth and experiences. That's not to say that there isn't good and bad in the world. There is. It's just that too many things are labeled with those in our minds and I think it has at least 2 negative side effects: first, it adds emotional baggage of feeling guilt, shame, embarrassment, failure, etc. to things that we were never to have that kind of relationship with. And second, it desensitizes us to things that really are good and bad. The consequences of that are staggering.
I intended most of my posts to be lighthearted and fun, but I am in a deeply contemplative state right now. I am preparing for my own personal greatness - whatever that may be. I hope that makes sense...I'm still trying to get the night-time cold medicine out of my system. But thank God for it! hehe Talk to you soon! Tootles!
