And another week flies by........

Del took off yesterday to collect Julio at 9.15 and didn't return till neary 12 hours later, poor Julio having had his blood tested was on point of collapse so he was given an immediate blood transfusion - he is back home again and won't need to go out until next Thursday when he has to return to the hospital.
I sat out on the terrace a while thinking of my daughter - her last day to get her dissertation done - to be handed in in today, I shall call her later. After the sun came thunder and much rain again but it was peaceful listening to it.

Valuable Information - information we are apt to forget
all to easily
When we feel pain, our first impulse is often to eradicate it with medication. This
is an understandable response, but sometimes in our hurry to get rid of pain, we
forget that it is the body's way of letting us know that it needs our attention. A
headache can inform us that we're hungry or stressed just as a sore throat might be
telling us that we need to rest our voice. If we override these messages instead of
respond to them, we risk worsening our condition. In addition, we create a feeling
of disconnectedness between our minds and our bodies.
Physical pain is not the only kind of pain that lets us know our attention is
needed. Emotional pain provides us with valuable information about the state of our
psyche, letting us know that we have been affected by something and that we would do
well to focus our awareness inward. Just as we tend to a cut on our arm by cleaning
and bandaging it, we treat a broken heart by surrounding ourselves with love and
support. In both cases, if we listen to our pain we will know what to do to heal
ourselves. It's natural to want to resist pain, but once we understand that it is
here to give us valuable information, we can relax a bit more, and take a moment to
listen before we reach for medication. Sometimes this is enough to noticeably reduce
the pain, because its message has been heard. Perhaps we seek to medicate pain
because we fear that if we don't, it will never go away. It can be empowering to
realize that, at least some of the time, it is just a matter of listening and
responding.
The next time you feel pain, either physical or emotional, you might want to try
listening to your own intuition about how to relieve your pain. Maybe taking a few
deep breaths will put an end to that headache. Perhaps writing in your journal about
hurt feelings will ease your heart. Ultimately, the message of pain is all about
healing.
