Happy Monday, guys and girls!  How are all of you?  Please feel free to leave a comment below, I always love to hear from you!  :) 

I'm doing well, and I had a super fun "Pre-Halloween" weekend!  I dressed up as tiger again this year (and you probably guessed that I'd do that if you've been following me on social media for any amount of time!).  I went out with lots of awesome friends to some of the bars over in West Hollywood. Always a great time!!  As you can see from my Instagram photo on Saturday night - which is also included right here in my post - in addition to my tiger costume, I was sporting another fashionable accessory:  a medical "walking boot" for a sprained foot! Haha.

The sprain occurred a few weeks ago, and I've basically had the boot on ever since. While it's been a bit frustrating to have had to wear the boot, it's actually taught me quite a few lessons. As many of you know, I aim to share lessons that I've learned so far along my journey through life, and like everyone else, I am constantly learning.  

I should preface this by explaining that I have never had any serious injuries (thankfully!).  Apart from having a hairline fracture in my wrist after skateboarding in college, I've been very fortunate to have good health and no badly-broken bones.  Now, when I injured my foot a couple of weeks ago, I initially thought that I'd broken it due to the pain.  I went to the doc and found out that it was just a sprain, but still, it literally kept me off of my feet for a while.  

While waiting for my foot to heal over the past few weeks, I've become much more aware of certain things about my body that I hadn't been paying too much attention to before my sprain.  Namely, I feel much more grateful to have a body that is functioning well! Yes, this may sound somewhat obvious to be happy about feeling good, but it's really important to give appreciation to your body and overall, to be kind to yourself.  I found it to be incredibly humbling to become more aware of just how much we depend on our bodies to carry us where we want and need to go.  

Each time I took a step and experienced pain, I was reminded of how fortunate I am to not go through all of life that way.  And it doesn't take much for pain to occur.  When we are pain-free, it is important to feel grateful for that.  This experience has allowed me to focus more on treating myself and my body with kindness and to feel more appreciative for good health and remaining as healthy as possible, physically, spiritually and emotionally.  

Finally, as a message to anyone who might be feeling pain today:  If you're experiencing pain today - physical or emotional - it will pass.  You're never alone.  Remember that doctors are absolutely amazing and can help you!  Take each day and each step with confidence, knowing that you're going to get better.  And pay attention to the lessons that you learn along the way to recovery!     

 It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold or silver.
-Mahatma Gandhi
