Treasures
come in many forms and can mean different things to different people. When we
discover our treasure—a lost picture, a rare doll, a long sought after coin, or
a rock—it brings a twinkle to our eye and provides a calm blanket to our soul.
Ahhhh, there it is.

Treasure.

for.”

Unchained and reclaimed—photography speaks
Each
day in the Broken Body Wounded Spirit:
Balancing the See-Saw of Chronic Pain series Spring — Summer — Fall — Winter offers a photograph meant to inspire new ways for managing
the daily challenges we face. So, it’s only befitting to encourage you to do
this exercise.
·
Find a favorite
photo and name it. You may not remember all the events surrounding the picture,
but you will capture how it made you feel.
·
Write a few words
about it or assign a favorite quote that reflects your sentiments.
·
Share it on social
media or keep it in a personal journal.
In
the world of chronic pain and chronic illness, losing our ability to choose is
often the tallest hurdle we face. This choice is entirely ours; we should
embrace it.
Metered, measured, and meaningful, light
allows me to capture my feelings in the moment. Finding the right settings is a
metaphor to finding the balance I need to move forward each day.

only an obstacle if we fail to see opportunity."
