Just a little background info to give the story some context. This year, my 10-year-old daughter has had 4 major brain surgeries plus 10-12 rounds of chemo. She has been hospitalized 7 times since January. Since her last surgeries at the end of May it has been a rocky recovery for her. Basically she has been homebound too weak to do much besides hang out in her bed. We felt as if she was making progress in her recovery, gaining back some of her strength when the week before last she took a downward turn. She started sleeping 16-20 hours a day again and was so weak she once again was having difficulty even sitting. She ended up back in the hospital last weekend, where a pressure study was conducted to make sure the pressure in her brain was not causing all the problems. Everything we checked turned out fine, so she ended up coming home on Saturday evening. Sunday night Ellie fell (and when she falls she falls all the way full body on the floor wailing.) I recall so clearly on that Sunday night of falling thinking, "THIS IS IT!! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!!" And it was as if Monday the universe responded on. Ellie walked up and down the stairs by herself not once but twice. She had more energy and more activities seemed possible. She has continued to progress throughout the week to the point that right now she is walking around her room rearranging her books. Wonder if I'd threw in the towel earlier what would have happened. I am also fully aware of the appreciation, the MAGIC, for all of the seemingly simple things we do every day without a thought--sitting or walking or talking.

Yesterday, I had lost my favorite sunglasses last February. I got in my car (which my grown men children have been sharing) and voila! They were on the floor of the front passenger side! My son's girlfriend said that she had been going through the middle compartment looking for change and took everything out - forgot to put those back in. Now that is magic! I was at my son's 7 on 7 Elmhurst College football practice and walked by a huge group of weeds (4 feet tall) and they were at the stage of soft furry "blossoms". I stopped and touched them and just ate up the magic of how they could be so beautiful! That's not all that has happened but I need to get to work. This is fun!

Now that is magic!

Exploring, being unattached, enjoying the journey. Thank you. You all are deepening the learning for me. And now that I have taken some inspired actions and have run 3 times in the past week, I want to continue to remind myself to be playful and to not get "significant." I'm still on a journey, I'm still exploring. :-) That’s it!! Exploring, being unattached, enjoying the journey. Thank you. You all are deepening the learning for me.

Shifting to an explorative position is a great way to stay unattached to outcomes. Everytime I am attached to an outcome, I feel overwhelmed when things just are not panning out the way I planned. It becomes a stress as opposed to an enjoyable process. I appreciate your insights into a declaration of exploration. When I am able to make this switch (which is a challenge for me), it becomes a journey vs an outcome. Much more relaxing and fulfilling. Love it!

I makes total sense to me! Thanks for the reminder and perspective. For me, where ever I am putting on the pressure - is an area for me to shift to exploration . . . finding a house and creating new sales are two areas that would be great to approach with an "explorers mindset".
