All we need is more VMC

I am doing alot of itching today so I decided that maybe it would be good to get involved in more activity and try not to focus as much on my body. Poor thing it has been cut, sutured, stapled, diminished by thirty pounds, chemified, scratched, poked by all sizes of little needles and cursed over and over by me in the wee hours of many o' morn. So to my over worked body I am making a pledge. I will not forget you or ignore you because you have become very precious to me and I need you in order to continue to enjoy what has already been a great life. I do promise, though, that I will give you a "focus break" where I will not pay quite as much attention to the things you do in response to our mutual situation. It is time for me use some of that training that all of us have been exposed to for years. I am committing to utilizing the many seasons of exposure that I have had to Vulcan mind control. I feel so small realizing that Mr. Roddenberry, Dr. Spock, Captain Kirk, the crew and every consumer product of that era spent years directing us to the way and we just ignore it.
In addition to the practice of VMC, I also am going to do a few other things. Write more, spend more active time with Cat and with myself, share myself more with my community, and encourage my friends and family to engage me more. Just know there will be times when my engage button is depleted and in need of recharging. I say this because for one thing I have spent time today reading about many others who have had their lives altered by serious medical issues and were faced with choices. Angry people became more angry. Giving people gave more of themselves. Positive people stayed positive. Guess who was happier and lived longer.
So Doctor Spock I welcome you into my life. We all need to live long and prosper.
