In The Blink of An Eye

Today was my first day back at work. Wow ~ 12 weeks really flew by! After spending all day looking at a computer screen my eyes are feeling a little bit googly! Getting back into the swing of things wasn't as hard as I had anticipated and ~ shocker ~ my brain seems to be working better than before the tethered cord surgery.

Something unexpected that happened today was my re-introduction to my desk chair. Clearly, a swiveling desk chair doesn't seem threatening to the average person. I've never had a problem with my chair before ~ but now ~ every time I moved in the chair I winced. I never realized how much I rolled around in the chair during the day. Now I have to be careful not to accidentally fall off the chair or pull my back out of whack while sliding around my cubicle! Maybe if I put some googly eyes on my chair I will know where I stand with the chair. Hmmmm ~ I just might have to search for the perfect pair of googly eyes now!

During my drive to work this morning I heard the song, "In the Blink of an Eye" and realized how time really flew by while I was home recovering. Of course I had lots of grandiose ideas of projects that would keep me from being bored. I still have a long list of movies I have yet to see. Time totally got away from me! What's more amazing is that the memory of the pain I felt seems to have faded. There wasn't one time during my recovery that I broke down and cried from the pain ~ I wasn't expecting that reaction at all. I found out that my pain tolerance is pretty high. These things were encouraging to me. Press on ~ push through to the next obstacle. ~ Sigh ~ So, what's next? Waiting for my real life to begin ~ probably ~ but trying to stay in the here and now and not look too forward into the future.

"In The Blink Of An Eye"~ Mercy Me

You put me here for a reason

You have a mission for me

You knew my name and You called it

Long before I learned to breathe

Sometimes I feel disappointed

By the way I spend my time

How can I further Your kingdom

When I'm so wrapped up in mine

In a Blink of an eye that is when

I'll be closer to You than I've ever been

Time will fly, but until then

I'll embrace every moment I'm given

There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

And though I'm living a good life

Can my life be something great?

I have to answer the question

Before it's too late

Cause in a Blink of an eye that is when

I'll be closer to You than I've ever been

Time will fly, but until then

I'll embrace every moment I'm given

There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye

If I give the very best of me

That becomes my legacy

So tell me what am I waiting for?

What am I waiting for?

In a Blink of an eye that is when

I'll be closer to You than I've ever been

Time will fly, but until then

I'll embrace every moment I'm given

In a Blink of an eye that is when

I'll be closer to You than I've ever been

Time will fly, but until then

I'll embrace every moment I'm given

There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye
