Ouch, my fricken back...
Well, 2 weeks ago yesterday I completely f'd up my 44 year old back. I think it's a reoccurence of an injury that happened 2 years ago.
Oddly enough, in some ways this has been a positive experience.
Recently, i've been very down on myself, very solitary and fairly depressed.
When I went to my cousins wedding, something changed in me that day, and it was a very powerful emotional experience. I reconnected with my family and it really felt good to have them happy to see me. Seeing my cousin finally find someone to share his life with was also great. He's an exceptional person, and he's found someone perfect for him. It sort of gave me hope too. What's amazing to me about that wedding was about a year ago, I was invited to a party in the very same backyard where the wedding took place. I put together a little band and we rocked the house. My music career actually began with my cousin. I took up guitar and he took up drums at the same time, and we played both of our first gigs together. Anyhow, that day it seemed my cousin spent alot of time talking to one person in particular, and that person became his wife a year later. I feel lucky to have seen the beginning of their relationship, and to see it develop into what i'm sure will be a long and happy life together.
Anyhow, that very same day my back injury happened, and for the past two weeks i've been struggling with it. Somehow, thru this experience i've come out of my shell a bit, and what really blows me away is how my friends have come to my aid, and these are all people that i've hidden myself away from during my recent down and solitary period. I've even started to let my guard down quite a bit and accept help from people. One of these people in particular has really been there for me, and that person would be my buddy Chris. I have to say, he has never let me down, and I really appreciate him, and all of his support and encouragement. He's helping to make me a better person. If you read this Chris...thank you.
