today, at approximately 10:15, surrounded by juliet, kelly, adrian, angel, corrinne, michael, lucas, and definitely a few others, i finally did a pull up!
everyone was incredible. pushing me. encouraging me. teaching me. coaching me. and then cheering loudly when i finally got it. it was awesome.
so aside from the actual awesome experience, i can also feel so proud that everything that's happened in the last year and a half, i can finally feel like i have control of my body.
so.awesome.
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207-1273, written in 1230
