Am I allergic to my socks? :)

So, it turns out I'm allergic to my socks. By process of elimination, so now Nylon is involved in this bit. You may wonder how this has any thing to do with inner truth.

Listening to our bodies is something many people unfortunately learn not to do. Some of us have grown up being told how to live, how to feel, what to put on, take off, and when. We may not have learned things like reading our own bodies messages, or only taking note of them when it is too late, like once we are sick enough to require immediate help, and then there are those of us that even then feel guilty asking for our needs, even when we have acknowledged that something doesn't feel quite right inside.

Anyway, I found out it was the socks by process of elimination.

Now, get this!! Kindness. Wonderful sweet blessed kindness, from G-d and from other people.
How, you ask?

I went out last night right after Shabbos, called my doctor on a Saturday night, who called in my prescription, thinking I was not diagnosed something strong enough prior to that, and then while I was standing there, the doctor went out of his way to find out my 'new' info from the health insurance company, which I didn't have, so I wouldn't have to pay the full amount on the spot (8 times the amount of the co-pay!!) They were closing soon, and he did it anyway, gave me a pill on the spot before paying and even some kosher filtered water to wash it down with, and then came over to potentially refill.

"Mi Kiamcha yisrael, goi echad baaretz". What beautiful achdus of Your People, Hashem. What beautiful gifts You extended to me last night, taking care of me, nurturing me, looking out for me. Sending the right people in my path, to help me to keep Your word, and to take care of myself, and provide me with relief from the tingling swelling itches that were overtaking me. What sweet relief. Thank You!
