Thinking about family just a short gallery.

Hi Sheba;

How are you doing? Hoping you are at home and comfy.

Today was a stay at home and come down from a too busy weekend. I am a homebody who finds a good movie. I filled out the paperwork to renew our passports. Chloe was over for a visit. Jerry went out to pick up an RX an grab some lunch. After he left……

UPS arrived with boxes of Heidi. Much to my shock I will send back almost half. Keeping the two TS boxes but returning the bracelet set that was not the TS, the longer earrings which I suspected would happen and I will keep the smaller amethyst earrings. My bracelet size is a confusion. I am better off buying separate bracelets. I am not a s/m but not a m/l especially with toggles. No worries. Still a haul.

Have you purchased any Marla today?

@Sheba,
Good afternoon! It has taken me a while to come on here and post today because I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer. This has just been too much and I just feel like crying. MIL and SIL are both safe and I’m very grateful yet I just feel like crying. MIL was given word she could come back home and is there now. We have been so happy but got worried when we saw the Woolsey fire started up out of control again so we called her to see how she was doing and that set her off in a huge panic. She has had 3 or 4 strokes (I forget at the present moment) and brain surgery. Her reasoning has been affected by the strokes and so she doesn’t understand the fire is not near her now and she is in a panic. We feel so horrible and we are not there. SIL is at work. I just feel so bad. I hope these fires are out soon. It is so hard on those poor people down there and it has taken its toll on MIL. SIL is so exhausted. We will keep trying to reassure her. She really needs sleep. The sky here is really smoky so our walk was short today. Sheba, today has been an emotional day so your words of wisdom were much appreciated! Thank you!
Did it snow any more? I hope you are staying warm and cozy inside and enjoying watching the snow fall. Did you get any of your Heidi goodies yet? Did you order any Marla today? I hope you are having a good day.
@Cherie, I will keep the daughter in my prayers. As you said, it will take time. with prayers and love she will get through it. That survivor’s remorse is tough. I’m glad your kids and cousins are still enjoying the visit. It’s nice to have somewhere safe and pleasant to stay while waiting out the fires.
@loaf, Glad to hear you are enjoying your time shopping! Did you get a coach bag?
@taci, Glad to hear you went hiking with your hiking boots on! Stay safe!

How Long

When we take the time to sit with our emotions fully, it will become apparent that the emotion was a catalyst for much needed healing.

Our emotions color our lives with varying palettes. Sometimes we feel a strong emotion in reaction to something that has happened, but emotions also visit us seemingly out of the blue, flooding us unexpectedly with joy or grief or melancholy. Like the weather, they come and go, influencing our mental state with their particular vibration. Sometimes a difficult emotion hangs around longer than we would like, and we begin to wonder when it will release its hold on us. This is often true of grief stemming from loss, for example, or lingering anger over a past event.

Usually, if we allow ourselves to feel our emotions fully when they come up, they recede naturally, giving way to another and another. When an emotion haunts us, it is often because we are afraid of really feeling it. Emotions like despair and rage are powerful, and it is natural to want to hold them at bay. Certainly, we don’t want to let them take us over so that we say or do things we later regret. When we are facing this kind of situation, it can be helpful to ask the spirit, “How long do I need to sit with these emotions, how long do I need to feel these emotions before they can pass?” If you ask sincerely and wait, an answer will come. Setting a time limit on your engagement with that difficult emotion may be just the technique you need to face it fully.

When you have a sense of how much time you need to spend, set a timer. Sit down and make yourself available to the emotion that has been nagging you. All you have to do is feel it. Avoid getting attached to it or rejecting it. Simply let it ebb and flow within you. Emotions are by their nature cyclical, so you can trust that just as one reaches its apex it will pass. Each time you sit with its presence without either repressing or acting out, you will find that that difficult emotion was the catalyst for much needed emotional healing.
