Greeting earthlings and non-earthlings!

Welcome to my virgin post! I am new to this medium so please bear with me as I learn my way.

First, the reason for my venturing into this realm which I have until now found to be curiously self-indulgent and, well, slightly socially disturbing. On April 10, 2010 I fell at home and broke my left shoulder. This is particularly bad luck (if you believe in luck) since I'm lefthanded. So I'm typing one-handed with my right hand. Not so bad so far, eh? Technically, I've broken my arm, the humerus bone, in 2 places at the shoulder. BTW the humerus bone doesn't have a sense of humor. It does have a pretty good sense of pain though. I am currently awaiting test results to see if there is additional injury which would require surgery.

After a few days of panic because I'm fiercely independent (usually) and self-pity (which just bummed everyone out, including me) I decided to explore how this experience could have been designed by Spirit to teach me something. So I decided to start practicing what I preach, or at least try to. And then I thought since so many people have started asking me over the last year "what my story is" maybe some of you would like to take this journey with me. Maybe, we'll see...

BTW - I promise not to bore you with banal details like when I brush my teeth (like who cares?? except maybe my dentist) or when I change my socks - which I can't do for myself right now anyway. The good news is in the last 2 days I have been able to change my own underwear which is an improvement and makes everyone happy!

So here's what I've learned so far. My daughter-in-law is a very good cook. I like to read before bed and I read everything from Quantum Physics as it pertains to psychic ability to the Twilight saga - blame my daughter-in-law for that and Go Team Edward! But none of it beats having my 6 year old granddaughter read anything to me. And the sound of the family dog licking her private parts at 3:00 a.m. is the same sound as a cat hacking up a furball. Maybe the spiritual insights will come later. I hope you stay tuned ...
