Surgery

I had left-side-inguinal-hernia-repair surgery today and felt much blessed by the whole process and aware of how differently I could have felt. I could have been angry that I needed the surgery and impatient with the inconvenience of it. Instead I was delighted with my feisty, young, brown-skinned, professional surgeon and her extremely competent and helpful staff. I looked on the whole process as a "God thing" but was also aware that these were just my words and thoughts, and that it was the attitude and feeling of gratitude that mattered. The actual words used make no difference.
