Recently I have gone through a hard time with my sister-in-law’s cancer. I’m so glad I have so much support from my friends here on the Cape. Many times I would hesitate to say what was wrong when asked. You know that feeling – everyone has their own bag of stuff and they don’t need me adding to it. Little did I know that I was actually being selfish by thinking that way. The day before her brain surgery I read a post by Lisa Jones on her blog “Just Here. Just Now”. It’s a great blog and Lisa is an insightful person as well as a great writer. The title of this particular post was: Cry It Out: Accept Compassion. Usually I read posts encouraging the giving of compassion and this one stood out because it was about accepting compassion. Lisa’s ideas were so well expressed that I won’t even try to paraphrase them. I’ll just provide the link below to her post.
Take note of the blog title and tagline. Just here. Just now. Celebrating the only moment we ever have. Isn’t that the truth?
And so, as another day goes by, thank you Lisa for your thoughts….thoughts I needed at an opportune time, thank you, all my friends, both near and far for your support and prayers, thank you God for the miracle of healing you performed, I will spend the weekend being “just here, just now”, and….I have written.
Just Here. Just Now.
