In yesterday’s post, I wrote of comfort in the hospital. I had a flood of memories after that post. I should have mentioned my scarf that provided comfort when I was at the rehabilitation center. I wish I had it when I was at the hospital (prior to rehab).

While at rehab, I wore my prayer/biblical scarf around my neck all day every day. I wore it when I visited the gym to exercise and “practice” walking. I wore it while I ate. I wore it at night. That scarf was comforting (and it warmed my neck a little but I was not overheating because of it). I think it reminded me that God was in charge. It was like I was asking for God’s presence for him to “do his thing.” The scarf has a Bible verse on it so it was like I was continually praying too. I had my Bible with me but the scarf was like a Bible that I could wear. I guess that piece of long, flowy fabric around my neck meant a lot to me (and I am not sure why I told one of the rehab specialists that I just felt like wearing the scarf when she asked if it had special meaning). It was probably a little weird, but I felt so much better because I was wearing that scarf. I am happy that no one asked me to take it off. They just let me wear it.

After rehab, I put the scarf in a safe place. Now that I am thinking of the scarf again, I want to wear it. But, it is too hot for the scarf now. I will wear it again when it cools down.

It is a really nice scarf. I attached a picture of a very similar scarf below. I had that scarf for a long time (for over 10 years). I didn’t wear that one much.
