For many days, I had been wearing a shoulder sling to nurture a sprained wrist and tennis elbow.  I am rid with it now.  But minor injuries like these help me keep my feet on the ground.  I bring to focus what is important.

I pause a moment and just appreciate that I have arms and legs and feet. And eyes, nose, ears, etc.  That I can sing, hear, see.  That I have healthy lungs.  That I can run, walk up and down the stairs.

Yet I whine and grumble and complain about things I perceive I need in my life.  I keep chasing that ever illusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as though that will finally give me peace and contentment.

I must stop the chase now.  Peace and contentment is within me.  Share.
