I just returned from a long weekend in the Portland Oregon area where I attended my nieces’ wedding. The setting was a beautiful vineyard outside of McMinnville – the informal capital of their Pinot Noir region. The perfect rows of grape vines which stretched up the hillsides to the horizon and the carefully designed processing and aging facility, spoke to many years of dedication to the ultimate goal – the production of a fine wine. And the tender and heartfelt vows spoken by the bride and groom as they stood on the sun drenched hillside were evidence of the years they had already dedicated to their successful partnership with many more to come. As I witnessed all of this, I felt gratitude for my health and was reminded of the dedicated focus it required to get well.
A successful wine, a solid marriage and a return to full health all require work. And the work must be done to the exclusion, at times, of all the other distractions of life. The goals which are the hardest to achieve require the most focus and ultimately the sacrifice of other pursuits. However, the rewards are also the greatest and most fulfilling. A person often gives up years of other possibilities in order to harvest one great goal.
I gave up two years to my dedication to be well again - to the exclusion of everything else. I am grateful that I had the support to be able to do that. Are you able to prioritize recovery as the focus of your days? How do you juggle things and still keep focused on your wellness goal? Please COMMENT or Send in your thoughts and I’ll post them.
