My aunt asked me to make her my favorite keto paleo pumpkin pie<\/a>. Normally, I’d be excited to cook. However, not only do I have a lot on my plate right now, but I also quit sweeteners<\/a>. So I can’t even join in the pie eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought this was a perfect opportunity to do something nice that’s also uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blessing Of Inconvenience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As much as I’m discomforted, I’m far more grateful that my aunt asked me for the pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My aunt has been an energetic force of nature my entire life. The epitome of health. She did everything right from exercising to eating healthy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did she practice health, but she’s an expert medical doctor who specializes in longevity. Many people looked up to her as their health muse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is why we were all shocked in April of this year, when doctors diagnosed her with stage 4 stomach cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite subsequent weeks of treatment, the cancer spread. As a result, the doctors could not perform surgery they’d planned. She moved on to a new treatment. But hope dwindled as the doctors prepared us for the possibility that it wouldn’t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the cancer was in her stomach she couldn’t eat. The thought of her never eating again, as she withered away to her death, haunted me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My aunt’s pain was so intense that the family made legal arrangements incase she wanted an assisted suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some miracle, things started to turn around over the last few weeks. Today she is still going through treatment but her energy is much better and she’s eating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had hoped so much she would be able to enjoy food again one day. But I didn’t know if it was a reality. I visualized it over and over again. So for my aunt to inconvenience me to make her a pie is one of the bests gifts I had this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I Learned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The pie<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While many things are uncomfortable, there are ways to find gratitude over the discomfort. Though a few hours out of my day might have slowed me down and added to my sleep debt, things could be far worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can afford to go slow. I can catch up on sleep. But I very nearly couldn’t make my aunt a pie. And I’m grateful that I can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
