"the goal of any surgery is total recovery. to come out better than you were before. some patients heal quickly and feel immediate relief. for others, the healing happens gradually. and it's not until months, or even years later, that you realize, you don't hurt anymore. so the challenge after any surgery, is to be patient. but if you can make it through the first weeks and months, if you believe that healing is possible, then you can get your life back. but that's a big if."
-grey's anatomy
the end of the year always makes me want to reflect on the past 12 months, as i guess it does to a lot of people. i was catching up on grey's anatomy this afternoon, and this monologue played at the end of it. as always, they're not really talking about surgery, but rather, life. i dont know if it's the time of year, or maybe i'm just pms-ing but hearing these words made me a little emotional. i think they pretty much summed up my year in the most perfect way. 2010 was a GREAT year for me, but it was also a difficult one. there was a lot of loss, a lot of hurt, and a lot of time spent on my own, searching. and as i look back on it, i have to say that i DO believe healing is possible. it's slow, and it takes patience, but it eventually runs it's course. and when you DO finally get to the other side, something beautiful awaits.
