Reflections 3/8/2020: Well, yesterday was a pajama day, all day. Not the fun, “let’s pop popcorn and watch movies” kind of pajama day. But the trapped on the couch, too dizzy to move kind of day. What made it even harder is that we got gorgeous, sunny weather that was SCREAMING to be enjoyed outside! Watching people in shorts walking, running, biking and playing with their dogs made my em-bedded-ness all the more grueling! Had to say, “be patient Lynette, your time will come again! Paracleta , my mountain ebike, is not rusting in the garage… we will be reunited down the road.” Delayed gratification! Hope for a bright future despite the realities of the now! Not a lesson I embrace easily, Lord. So wrap Your arms around me a little tighter and assure me that “this too shall pass”… and since I’m going through it, I might as well ferret out the valuable lessons it has to offer. Patience. Trust. Greater compassion. Breaking my self-sufficiency that keeps You at bay. Easy to put in a list… not so easy to embrace in my life. So use the pajama days (and daze) for good, even though they sure as heck don’t feel good!
