FINDING WISODM IN WISDOM TEETH

Why did this make a reclamation for me?

At times, you begin to view yourself to find you are not just less than perfect but roughly unperfect.  The words that come from something malicious can graze you so profoundly at the root that it is hard to believe that there is anything valuable about you. You feel your self being picked apart and heaved into tiny pieces. It is so hard to see yourself any different than this. Your essence begins to feel disoriented, dysfunctional, and  disparaged.  Sometimes though, in these harsh moments an interruption can occur. For me, this appearance happened from a simple juncture of my two teenage daughters having both their wisdom teeth extracted at the same time. Why did this make a reclamation for me? It was as simple as this, they needed me. They wanted me to care for them, to be there for them. They wanted what I could offer and in return they offered me what I needed.  After their procedure was complete, they were brought home to a makeshift  sleepover room in our family room that was created for us all to gather. Together we watched movies while every two to three hours I measured out medications and administered it to the girls.  I changed their gauze. I cooked mashed potatoes and got them drinks as needed. I became their personal nurse, and it was nice. They needed me, they appreciated me, and most of all, I needed them.  Being needed no matter how minimal can work wonders on our vitality, our optimism, and for me, aiding in my Ascending 2 Normal.
