In my quiet time this a.m. I had an epiphany. It was brought to my attention how much I have changed! Years back, I NEVER WOULD have been able to RECEIVE all the love and help that I am allowing now. I NEVER KNEW how to receive. I am doing that now and that is a great growth for me....I am allowing others to love me and be there for me. I even ask people to do things for me! My heart has been opened to RECEIVE all the love that comes my way. I am grateful for the awareness and I am grateful I am awake enough to see my personal growth. The old Vicki would have struggled at home alone and probably hurt myself trying to PROVE I could do things by myslef; then, on top of that, gotten pissed because I was doing things all by myself. Playing the marytr role to the max!
I truly am overwhelmed with gratitude as I write this because a heart that at one time that was so closed is now open!
I go to the Orthopedic surgeon next Tu. and I am hoping my knee is healed and I  can finally put my left leg to the ground! :-)
My plastic surgeon released my last week and my M.D. thought I was doing great.
This has been quite a ride; but the gift of seeing my heart open to love has made things much more acceptable.
Thank-you all for caring!

V,

I laugh inside with joy for both of us because you described me when you spoke of not being able to ask for help, trying to do it all yourself to prove that you could, and then getting pissed about having to do it all yourself.

I share your gratitude; for I too identify with an open heart.

Healing is such a trip! LOL.

Be well, dear one.

I\'m glad to hear good news about your progress!

I view your personal growth here as both humbling and extremely brave at the same time. You my friend are daring greatly! (The latest book I read is titled \"Daring Greatly\" and I loved it. You are demonstrating an example of what I learned about in this book)

So happy to hear you are receiving so much love and support.
