Equilibrium

I have been a widow for over eight months now. I rejoice that I have made it this far! Grief, the stress of starting a new vocation, and the resulting sedentariness of life in a cubicle have undoubtedly caused havoc with my equilibrium. After losing 41 pounds, I am still creatively low-carbing, although I have mysteriously gained weight. It is incredible how a crisis can disrupt success.

I recently began seeing a holistic chiropractor, Dr. Rosie of Main Health Solutions. Dr. Rosie is a proponent of the ketogenic diet and natural healing. She agrees that the sudden changes in my life have created a disturbance. Much like a hard drive malfunctioning when its directory branches are broken, the body loses its balance when the nervous system misfires or fails to communicate properly. 

Truthfully, my back has been out of whack since the delivery of my youngest son—18 years ago. At 60, I have noticed that my posture is not where it should be. Xrays show that I have a bit of degeneration where I had my last epidural. 

I am looking for a life alignment, not just a repositioning of my physicality. 

This said I am continuing to do what I know to do. I believe that I will find my sure footing again. Cheryl A. Barrett wrote, “Time has no boundaries in matters of the heart.” Perhaps another revelation resonates with Shauna L Hoey's thoughts, “Heartache purged layers of baggage I didn’t know I carried. Gifts hide under the layers of grief.”
