Is being humble showing healthy adjustment to a difficult situation? Am I humble when I show strength in moving through the phases of Parkinson's with Russ? Is being humble Russ 'accepting' the demise of walking and 'accepting' the wheel chair? Or is being humbled when you meet someone who has so many more struggles than you and suddenly you feel blessed?
I am thinking that humility is knowing my limits, my strengths and my weaknesses. On this journey, I do tend to reflect inwardly. My car time is about processing the worries. Occasionally I leave the house in turmoil, worried, afraid, not knowing how to handle the immediate, never mind the future! On this journey there is always a person I meet that has 'just one more' issue than we are handling and it shouts at me.... it screams to me that their journey will someday be my journey. It humbles me and I feel blessed that they are there to teach me!
My journey is about people. I need to be 'available' to my sense of entitlement, my fait, my role in this world... all the nuances of living. I need to be available to that humble nudge, I need to pay attention.
