The Year of Traveling Lightly

I'm off to St. Martin tomorrow when Tony Orlando gets up (at the crack of Dawn). :)

I certainly hope this little slice of the Internet will not become Hedy's Health Report, but I am happy to report that I (finally) figured out the reason for my most recent malady.

Everything Happens for a Reason, I always say.

On a very basic level, this whole "rib out" thing was due to the fact that I was carrying too much to/from work in my backpack. Gods bless my chiropractor.

But as I was packing for St. Martin this morning, I realized the Larger Lesson from the pain (lotta pain) of the past two weeks.

I've been carrying around way too much of everything in the past year: physically, mentally and spiritually.

Besides the aforementioned backpack, I've also been lugging a lot of other baggage -- I've let so many of the things that happened in 2005 weigh me down mentally and spiritually.

So 2006 will be the Year of Traveling Lightly. Anything that isn't useful is being left behind.

And I feel better already.

I'll try to update while I'm on vacation, otherwise you'll hear from me again on January 8.

Best wishes to all for the coming year.
