There is always someone around to help ...

In my last post I mentioned how I managed to overcome the obstacles.

Recently I was talking about my family and how I felt they could have been more supportive.

And the person I was speaking with replied "How lonely you must feel...".

To that I had to reply "I don't feel lonely, it would not be right to say that. Although I didn't have the support I expected from them, I had a lot of support from people I didn't expect to help me. Three of my friends have been extremly supportive, my husband and his family have been there all the time. All beyond my expectations."

What I mean by support is a phone call, a message, a demonstration that someone is thinking of you. More than that, interested on what is happening.

What I have been trying to remember when I feel upset is that good comes from unexpected places. So instead of focusing on what didn't happen, I should focus on what happened, and appreciate that.

It will be only fair with the people that helped me and the good things that happened.

You are stronger than you think!

"You are stronnger than you think!" you may have heard that too!

And it is true, I can assure you.

When put in stressful situations, we cope, we find a way to overcome obstacles we never thought we would, I can assure you.

Also, because love will give you the strength to do so. When you see someone you love in need of your support, you will do it, your love will make you strong, you will only think about the best way to do the task ahead, and not about the possibility of doing it.  

All my life I have been known for making a drama out of any injections, blood, etc.

I have also been known for being soft, crying, very sensitive.

Well, well, well.... things change when we need.

As I wrote once in a post, we have been through difficult times in recent months.

There were problems related to the business, and I reacted with a lot of strength to support my husband .... and I don't feel the financial loss now. Months later, I resent the people that robbed him. But that does not mean weakness, it just means that it shocks me a long term business partner could do such a thing.

I also wrote about surgery. I had to clean the blood and the wound of a close person. And I did it with strength. I felt sad and sorry for what happened, but I did the task without thinking twice, I did it as a job that had to be done, it was beoyond the blood or the wound. Because it was required and I love this person.

Then I had to go through a treatment that meant I had to inject myself on a daily basis. Yesterday I did my last injection. It has been 39 of them, plus 2 blood tests!!!! If someone would tell me one day I would do that, I wouldn't believe. Again it was a task that had to be done. I focused on the task, and did it, very well indeed. I pretended I was working in a lab and told my tummy it was for my own good; therefore, required. And my body and mind accepted it. I also sometimes apologized to my own tummy for hurting her :-)

I am proud of myself and I feel very strong now.

When we know a situation depends on us, we handle it and we overcome our fears, we are strong and allow ourselves to show our inner strength.

Sometimes I take cards from my Oracle cards to read. Yesterday I was thinking about the last stage of my treatment - which will happen tomorrow. So I took the cards to ask for something else. When I was shuffling the cards, the thought of tomorrow's events came to my mind when one card fell out and it said:

" Be Strong.
You are stronger than you think you are, and your strength assures a happy outcome.

See yourself as strong and victorious. Don't complain about anything. Don't blame anyone or any condition. You are the embodiment of strength, not victmhood. As you rise above the old tendencies and see yourself in the new light of beautiful feminine strength, your life will automatically shift in miraculous ways. You will attract new opportunities, forms of abundance, and relationships to help you manifest your highest potential. Being strong means seeing yourself in the most favourable light you can imagine. Be real, allow yourself to feel genuine emotions, but most of all, be strong."

I had been talking about the aspects of Thursday and the last injection I was concerned about. It took hours for me to understand the card. Just before the lat injection I realized I was treating it like something bad. It did not make sense, I did 38 of them, what was the matter with the 39th? So, I told myself, it would be good for me and asked my body to accept it. And everything was ok. I have also decided that I am strong to go through Thursday and it will be good for me.

And I am very proud I have managed this treatment! Well done!
