Try to have a relaxing day, a tasty bite to eat, a soothing drink and lounging in a comfortable spot. I am not too far from loaf, western PA. So we usually get your weather a day or two later. Hugs to you and Poppy from me and Jake.

Stuck in the Mud

Pain can serve as one of life’s great teachers, but it’s vital to move through it and not become stuck.

Pain comes and it goes. It is just one component to the grand cycle of life. And when experienced as such, pain can serve as an important teacher. It is when we get stuck in our pain that it becomes detrimental to our well-being and development. If you notice that you feel closed-off, resentful, heavy-hearted, or that you try very hard to avoid being hurt again, there may be a part of you that is still stuck in pain.

We can get stuck in our pain for many reasons. As children, it was natural for us to cry, throw a tantrum, and let the experience move through us. By fully feeling our pain in this way, our emotions would wash us clean, leaving us open and available to new experiences. With age, though, we might have determined that expressing emotion was no longer appropriate, and so we developed a variety of coping strategies to deal with our discomfort. We may have learned to stuff our feelings down or to run away from them. Perhaps we began thinking that staying closed and unwilling to try new things would keep us safe from heartbreak, safe from rejection, and safe from failure. We may have even gotten so used to being in pain that the thought of being without it scares us. But, if we continue to hold onto it longer than necessary, we are expending a lot of energy that could instead be channeled into making our life experiences more positive.

If you notice that you are continually connecting with the same familiar patterns of pain, consider embracing your feelings and letting go of your hurt. Whether your pain is from childhood or from an experience last week, see if you can give it room to move. When it does, you will reconnect with a wonderful source of your own vital energy.

Happy Heart

There’s a certain sound always follows me around
When you’re close to me you will hear it
It’s the sound that lovers hear when they discover
There could be no other for their love
It’s my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it’s all because you’re near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love
Feeling more and more like I’ve never felt before
You have changed my life so completely
Music fills my soul now, I’ve lost all control now
I’m not half, I’m whole now with your love
It’s my happy heart you hear
Singing loud and singing clear
And it’s all because you’re near me, my love
Take my happy heart away
Let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love
