Beat Transverse Myelitis FoundationF

Patience is not sometimes I’ve been known to have much of. In days way past, I used to describe myself as living life at 80 miles an hour . . . the foolish fantasy of an ambitious young man. Then along came Transverse Myelitis with its inability to predict any timeframe for recovery. Its almost as if TM was given to me as a life adventure adapted to teach me the value of patience, the joy of the journey. This morning I could wiggle the toes on left foot all by myself . . . it’s been months since I’ve seen this small miracle. This is what can happen when we give time, time.

I was contemplating whether or not to do my physical therapy today. Did I have time? Should I see how my day goes first? Then, I read this meditation – clearly, anything outside of me could be used as an excuse not to do my PT today. Only what’s within can drive me to keep strengthening my leg muscles in the hope of one day walking again. You can subscribe to our Daily Meditations at beat-tm.com/my-spirit
