Apparently, I have a nondisplaced fracture at the level of the humeral head greater tuberosity.

If you are like me, you had to Google that to find out I fractured my shoulder. It happened in December when I slipped in the snow and fell. And yes, it hurt, and no, I didn’t go to the ER.

It was a week before my massage therapist suggested maybe I should get it X-rayed, and two weeks after that before I could get an X-ray, and another two weeks before I received the report.

Now I can play would have, could have, should have. But what I should have done has very little bearing on where I am now.

The physiotherapist didn’t spend a lot of time talking about what I should have done in December. She was far more interested in what I should be doing now.

When we slip and fall in our spiritual life, it is often easy to play the would’ve, could’ve, should’ve game. But while the past is a great classroom, it is a horrible living room.
It’s time to get up, brush ourselves off, seek forgiveness and start the spiritual exercises that we need to get our strength back.

Have a great week and remember: to see what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
