wishing
I spend most of my time wishing. At least, that's what it seems like most days. I wish for lots of things as I'm sure most people do. I wish for more friends, I wish for cooler or warmer weather, depending. I wish for love. I wish for peace. I wish for strength. I wish for talent, people to talk to, someone to clean the house. :-)
Mostly I wish my life was different. I wish that I wasn't in extreme pain every minute of every day. I wish I wasn't just existing, I wish that I was living. I wish I was brave enough to change my life. I wish I was brave enough to just try.
I was very hesitant when I moved to this house last May. There were many challenges that I wasn't sure how to face, but there were more pros to living here than there were cons. I was ready to move within two months. But, I'm still here.
I have been looking. I search the net several times a week looking for a place in the mountains. I've found a few places that looked promising. I'll get excited about it and decide to call and make an appointment to drive up and look. Then...well, then I get scared. I'll have a really bad day - pain wise. I'll fall, or pass out, or lose time. Then I think, I can't move. I have to stay here. Living several hours from what little family I have, knowing no one around. What am I thinking? Move? That's crazy! And I'll settle in to staying here and figuring out how to make the best of it.
Then a few days later the urge to go comes over me again and I'm back on the merry go round.
This past winter was rough. Wishing...spending so much time just lying or sitting staring into space...wishing.
I wish I was brave and could take a leap of faith. But I think I've lost my faith right along with my strength, my memory, my balance and my life.
I don't know how to stop wishing and start doing. That's what everyone says, right? Stop thinking and start doing.
I really wish I knew how.

Hi Laura -- I hope you find the answer about how to turn wishes into action so that you can have the life you want!
Laura, I was going to say the same thing Debra said. I truly hope you find the answer about how to turn your wishes into action, so that you can have the life you want. I know fear is hard to conquer. Send love to yourself and all your fears. Start saying "I Love You", to yourself! Sending you healing hugs!!!
It sounds to me like you have a beautiful talent for wishing. For seeing the potential of loveliness and goodness in life, and longing that it comes true.
I believe action isn't just about doing. Action also takes place in the heart and the soul. Wishes are action, they shape our inner reality. If you know that you should stay close to family for safety's sake - and I'm sure they are comforted by your nearness - then what would you wish for your current situation? Your wishing holds your deep secret truths. Your fears are trying to tell you something.
Sorry for the advice dump - I'm the sort of person who wants to fix everything for everyone, and it can be really obnoxious.
I am sorry for your pain :-(
