Samye Ling and a Happy Birthday
On Sunday my husband and I got up early and drove down to the Samye Ling Center for lunch. I managed to walk around the hall with the prayer wheels and a small amount in the garden. The temple had a course going, so we didn't get to go in and sit. But it was still a nice visit.
I was very tired and towards the end my husband was holding me up. Set me on a wall and went after the car. I am improving, but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to gain enough weight to get much stronger. Struggling with food.
But it was a really good visit for me. It let me reset my internal emotional state. Reminded me that I am impermanent and suppose to be. That it is a very good thing for me to be. I hope to visit again when I can go in the temple. I may have to make myself a pad for the floor, because it hurts me to sit for very long. But I can lay down.
I feel much better about living in today and not worrying too much about what will come. I talked to my GP who once again assured me that I will not be left to suffer in anyway. There is a great deal of comfort in knowing that.
Got the flights arranged for my daughter to visit. She arrives in late Oct and will stay till Early Jan. We'll work on her dress and generally spend time together. It will be good.
Yesterday was my birthday and I have a lovely day. I was in pain, so I was taking meds as needed. But my husband took me out to do a little shopping and we went to lunch at one of my fav places. I spent time remembering and thinking about the fact that I was gifted with a human birth. Which gives me the chance to make choices and learn.
As my friend Hotboy would say "What a fortunate creature I am."
