I pulled into my 139th home this past week and pretty much fell out of the car. Due to another bout of negligence in my self-care routine on the road, I’ve landed myself some pretty bad migraines. Along with a stiff neck amongst other health issues that arise when you decide to, ya know, live in and out of a car and stranger’s homes for three years managing a massive project on your own. I made an appointment at the first chiropractor I could find open and luckily they had a spot for me. While I was in my appointment I overheard a man walk in and ask, “Well, is she in here? I see her car outside.” Then there was some noise and when it stopped, I no longer heard him. Once my appointment was over I walked outside and the woman working there said, “A man just walked inside and said he read about you in the paper, he is a fellow New Yorker and he left you this…” With that she handed me a $100 bill. A moment later the chiropractor called me back in to discuss what he had done and show me some stretches to try. He had gone way above and beyond a regular adjustment and the bill was pretty steep. But he looked at me and smiled and said, "I love what you’re doing. This is on me. Just pay it forward.” We chatted for a while after sharing stories and he mentioned to me something he said he tried to always live by: “People are always focusing on if the glass is half full or half empty. But we forget to just be grateful we even have a glass.” This trip has been so many different moments of seeing my glass and what it contains, but despite all of the heartbreaking, challenging, half-empty moments I have battled...I realized in that moment standing in a chiropractic office in Morgantown, West Virginia, I’m pretty damn lucky to have the glass I have. And even luckier to have moments like this one in a random city where strangers come together and make my glass feel very, very full. ✨ #moregoodtoday #westvirginia #thankyou #bodyworkzwellness ♥️ #spreadthelove (at Body Workz Wellness) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wuqBxn7h-/?igshid=y3t13wll2rj7
