The Book of Joshua P!!

"

Your confidence should be on the rise, as your expertise is in a subject others only dream about mastering. "

That’s what my horoscope had to say today for me. God, I hope it’s true… it’s so hard feeling this weak and trying to be an example of strength. I just spoke to a friend, Brooke Bundy, and her statement on pity, and something I’ve always agreed with, is this:

"…when you pity someone, you place yourself in a position of superiority over them, and when you start off in that direction, you end up in worlds of anger and regret and doubt…"

DAMN! I couldn’t say more succinctly why I don’t want any pity in any of this. Use whatever energy you would to pity me and instead wish me a fast recovery… and for those of you that already have that for me in your hearts, I promise you it’s working. Every day it’s that much easier to move, to walk, to breathe, to look in the mirror.

Yesterday we did make it to the Huntington, and it was exactly what we needed, to walk in a peaceful, quiet, beautiful place and just remember that there are still a lot of amazing things in the world, and we must not confine ourselves to our own trauma.

("… we must not confine ourselves to our own trauma"… WHAT??! damn, that’s GOOD. I officially copyright that, here and now!

I’m getting antsy. I can’t even walk up a few flights of stairs yet, but I want to go to the gym. I can’t focus both eyes all the time, but I want to drive. It’s hard learning my limitations, but I have to do it…. then of course are the perks… in this state, I simply must be spongebathed by Molly.
