Desire

 So, it has been a very busy several days on one hand, and some long dry moments on the on the other. It's all part of the process. You have to find the joy and the progress even in the dryer zones of life. And, in the times that blossom with many achievements, I find that tempering the excitement helps spread the joy to all the corners, making it enough to cover even lean times.

Looking at where Jim is, and where he was over eight weeks ago... Astonishing. The last three weeks has its own chart of progress. No remarkable (medical reference) left leg and foot action... To standing. Some communication....to small conversation and lots of verbal expression. Some think the healing is accelerating. Yes. But I, for one, think we simply can see the healing more easily now. A lot of the healing...most... is done in silent places. Secret gray matter chambers. Other realms of life. What is done there starts the tumbling of thousands of standing dominoes throughout the body. Next thing you know, Jim spouts out his phone number, 817-bleep bleep -bleep...b..b..b..bleep...between bites of lunch. Staff in the room thought he was just talking numbers again. Nope. Now what queued that thought, I have no clue.

He is actually engaging with other patients! Looking at them. Connecting and asking "How's it going?" " How's the soup?" Concern for others. That's Jim for sure. 

So, as Napoleon Hill said:

"The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat."

I'm keeping the fire department number at the ready to handle our desires.
