Which Road(s) to Travel

My little 5 pound Yorkshire Terrier is scheduled to have tooth surgery tomorrow.  Oh, I can feel the fear gurgling up. 

I've known one bad experience with sleep sedation and my animals.  It seems to be a huge fear of mine.  And, with little Tiffany being so tiny, I find myself frightened of her discomfort.  I know that I need to do this for her to stop her ongoing discomfort and get her mouth healthy again.  And, with it coming up on tomorrow, I find myself turning off; and I know that this is not the direction I want to go and that this will not change the outcome....hmm. 

I know that the best course for me is to believe that I am helping her and the help outweighs the negative.  I know that I have a competent doctor and I am here waiting with great love to help through her healing process.  I know it's my best choice.

Yet, I wish I had a better choice.  At this point, it seems I either do it or do not have it done. 

So, as I find myself oscillating between the fear of hurt and the certainty of helpfulness -- it is very uncomfortable.

My breathing gets shallow, my body goes numb, my ears ring louder on one side of my thinking.  The other side is that I am grateful that Tiffany can get help.  I am grateful that I am able to pay for it.  I am grateful to have this little thing with big personality in my life.

Is this a choice I make to move forward with...  Can I choose the best path with trust and some ease....

With only two weeks left before I head back down to Florida, I know unsettledness.  I know my home is within myself. 

I want to be strong within myself and not waver so much.  I want trust, love, and light circulating through my veins and not fear, darkness and stagnation.

In this minute, I choose love.  In this minute, I choose trust.  In this minute, I breathe deeply.

May you be aware of what you may or may not be choosing.
