Distracted by others needs is healing.

Sitting by my wife's side while some of her relatives and our friends relatives cry for help after Typhon Haiyan devistated the homes and lives of hundreds of Thousands in the Philippines. Together we gathered many of our friends through the Bayanihan Association of Northern California to help raise monies to help as many as possible. 

Throughout this event I have been blessed with energy to help. But being distracted by this event caused me to fail to care for myself. I was feeling my strongest since my accident. Motivated as well. Inspired too. However I had forgotten to care for myself. After forgetting to take my meds a few evenings I found myself waking up in more pain and having difficulties while eating. Thankfully my wife reminded me of my limitations. I was taking too many physical risks. Emotions and adrenaline drove me to do more than I should

Helping my wife and friends was very healing to me in its own way. If only that feeling could last forever. Driven by faith I got through it all.
