In my last post, I wrote of how change brings about learning. Well, here's a case in point: If not for this surgery, I would never have appreciated all that the abdominal muscles do.
Is there any activity they are not involved in? From the pain and discomfort I'm feeling at every move, it sure doesn't seem so.
Bending, pushing, pulling, lifting, carrying, twisting, turning. reaching, steering, walking, sitting, standing, lying down, getting up, coughing, sneezing. All involve the abdominals. Even laughing, hence, the term "belly laugh."
Mystical experiences, yearnings, politics, little dramas, poetry, kidney dialysis, insulin-dependent diabetes, and opportunities for gratitude.

About Me
- Heidi's heart
- Southern California, United States
- Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
