Curveballs of Life

Hi again,
Well I am looking at the title of this post and actually find my lame attempt of a title kind of funny! lol I want to talk about the curveballs that affect either the entire course of our life or maybe just the next few days. Curveballs that change our plans and our future. Things that happen that we are less than thrilled to see happen. I think we have all had these things happen several times in our lives and in a way it is just a part of life but it can be frustrating. I guess I am thinking about this because I have just been sent another wee little curveball that affects the next few days. Yesterday I started getting pain in my right shoulder and at first I figured it was a spasm of some kind. But it is sharp and doesn't really go away which is different from the usual spasms I get in my back. Then last night I had my leg fall asleep and it just would not wake up. At first I didn't even think there could possibly be a link between the two but there may be. Overnight my leg woke up and now I am left with quite alot of pain and now wishing I wasn't so gung ho on my leg waking up. lol But based on the stuff going on-it seems more nerve related than spasm related. I am seeing my specialist again on March 16 so that is perfect timing in some ways. So between my back and my leg I will probably be stuck in bed again a fair bit of the next few days. haha just when I was planning to try finish off my room and possibly try skating again. The timing is not great but what can I do? My room will have to wait and it will be there to finish when I can get back to it. The skating-well hopefully Bower Ponds has not thawed out before I can get another chance to try skating again. lol One great positive out of all this-I have more time to read! I love to read and currently I am reading a book that is incredibly fascinating and will have to share in another post. But one thing I have learned is that when we are tossed a curveball in life, we have to readjust our plans and just go with it in a way. Resisting it and refusing to accept it will just make us unhappy and possibly cause more pain. I could get all mad about being stuck in bed again but what good would it do? I would just be miserable. So I am going to look at the positive in this and that is I have more time for books! Also more cuddle time with my cat. lol It isn't a picnic to have to rest alot and to go through the pain so I don't need to add being mad to it too right? There are so many things I would rather be doing obviously but I am learning that sometimes there are curveballs and we have to just be flexible and try to find the positive in it. Otherwise we will just be incredibly unhappy and annoyed and frustrated. I am not perfect and I do feel annoyed about this but I will get over it. I have a really good book waiting and my time will not be totally wasted. So if you do not hear from me for a few days-I am just busy getting through what ever this is and also enjoying my good book! lol
