@lovendures I'm so sorry for your injuries and having to cut your dream vacation short. That does sound painful - emotionally and physically.
But I will also say it speaks so well of you that you brought out the best in these wonderful people. It goes both ways!
@lovendures How is it that your story of loss, pain, and mishap was one of the most uplifting stories I've read? You show us how powerful love is. My Random prediction is that you will have a miraculous healing of both ankles and perhaps you will even get another Alaska trip with your beloved family when the time is right.
@lovendures Thank you for sharing your story. It sounds like even with challenging circumstances you stayed present, and you were supported the whole way through.
Are you still open to receiving prayers, intentions, and healing energy (e.g., Reiki) as you continue recovering from your surgery?
Wishing you all the best. ☺️
I agree with raincloud. Your spirit and openness inspire people around you to kindness. You are relentlessly kind, and your words of prayer have been uplifting and on target here on the forum.
I shattered my arm on the job 21 years ago and I personally understand your pain.
I am wishing for you every day less pain and more function returning. I'm sure the folks at PT will love you too.
Wayne Dyer said it best, "Loving people live in a loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world."
You make this world better and you so deserve every positive loving thing that comes your way.
Love,

I am devastated .... they passed the big awful bill .... so much pain, suffering and loss of life ahead.... we fought as hard as we could .... to no avail. It is not in me to celebrate the 4th tomorrow. 💔🤢🤮😭
Dear community, thank you so much for your beautiful words and unexpected compassion and kindness. ( I'm not crying, you're crying. )
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Every day is a step forward. When there are steps backward, and yes there are some of those, there seem to be new discoveries or extra steps foward to keep me moving onward.
Your prayers, healing light and love have made a a big impact in my journey toward healing. Thank you.
My daughter brought back a Canadian t-shirt for me during the cruise I was unable to attend. It was perfect timing as I am going to wear it tomorrow in honor of our neighbors to the north who brightly hold the their shining torch of freedom as a lighthouse for their neighbors ( mostly below them) navigating this dark storm.
The only song I think I MIGHT sing tomorrow is God Bless America because it is a prayer which resonates with me.
It feels more of a funeral in my heart, no cause to celebrate. Perhaps I will honor those courageous and honorable souls who risked everything to make our nation stronger and filled with compassion. Those who made it lighter when darkness fell. We don't always need to be lighthouses. But we can embrace that light when we see it.
Tomorrow I will light a candle for the soul of my country.
Let's look for some light. It will be there. And you can amplify it.
If you see someone wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, tell them that yes they truly do. Smile at those who dare wear rainbow anything and tell them they wear the color well. Send healing to our land, our Indigenous people, and those who are grief stricken and fearful. Do something which honors our nation, her people or her land tomorrow. Be kind to yourself. Never let the dream of a better tomorrow fade out. Hold a lamp up in your own way to let others see they are not alone. Perhaps you can simply reach out to a friend and tell them that they are loved.
In the meantime, this song came to me while writing this message and my goodness, this version is amazing!

13 people have died and 20 others are missing (most of them children from a summer camp) as devastating floods hit central Texas today. Some children are also accounted for but stranded.
Prayers going out to the families and the children. What a horrific disaster.
