Sorry about your back Allison. I suffer intermittent lower back issues. I’ve never injured it and was kind of perplexed on why it would flare up. I think I figured it out; if I drink to much tea before I go to bed I will have to go #1 at about 3:00am but not bad enough to wake me up. I will ‘contort’ myself in my sleep to take the pressure off the ol’ bladder and viola’; tweaked back!! Solution: stop drinking tea at 7:30pm so I’m purged by 9:30pm bedtime. Thought I’d share that.
On humility….yep, I kinda got burned out hearing that word in recovery. They kind of inferred it meant to not be egotistical. I read a morning meditation by Richard Rohr that expained humility as ‘humus’ which is earth, dirt, ground. I liked that!!! So, humility is nothing more than returning to the source, the dirt, the earth….grounded in my origins…the true me. It makes sense and really just brings everything home.
