Process Addiction - Progression

I heard something yesterday:
"There hasn't been as much progress as I expected."
It got me thinking about the word "progress."
"Forward or onward movement toward a destination."
How do WE define progress??

I remember vividly when my neuro team was talking about progress after my stroke.
Heidi, you are now Heidi 2.0.
You will never be Heidi 1.0 again, and we wouldn't want you to be.
Heidi, we don't know what physical or cognitive capabilities you will have.
We will be happy with every little thing.

I remember vividly what Katryna told me.
Heidi, it took you 40 years to get to this point - you aren't going to be "better" in a year or two.

Both of these gave me perspective.
I was determined to "get better," but I was also determined to be very descriptive in my goals and my expectations.


In comes floors and ceilings!
In comes "Next I will..."
In comes awareness.
In comes co-creating with God... knowing that we are not expected to do this alone.
