Good Afternoon to you Sheba, I hope your headache has gone away. And hope you can take something for it too. I remember my mother when I was a child, when she would get headaches. She would cut thin slices of potatoes and place it on her temples. After a while the slices would turn black, of course now we know its oxidation. But she would show it to me and say see it’s working. My mom only went to school until the 4th grade. She had to stop school and go work to help her family. I never met my German grandmother, she passed before I was born. She had 10 children and they had to eat so my mom had to work. However my mom learned how to speak English, read English, and write in English without going to school here. I was lucky to come to this country with her. I started working at age 12, well just baby sitting for fifty cents per hour. At 15, I took care of a little boy after school and always ended up with a house full of kids watching cartoons are just playing. Got paid for one but had many around me. Take care Sheba

Sheba, Thank you for showing these wonderful products. I have them both the round and square ones use them every day. Husband likes taking his lunch to work in them too. We don’t heat any food in plastic in the microwave, only in glass and these are perfect.

Not much happening in the ‘burgh but heat and humidity.🔥 May have some storms tomorrow. I see Texas and the poor people in the south are getting hit again with another hurricane – how much more can they take? Breaks my heart for them.😪

Ran out and did some errands this morning and just finished laundry. I think we will have easy sandwiches for dinner,🥪 not a fan of cooking when it’s hot.

The first thing mom told me about the luncheon was that she didn’t win any money, lol!🤣 She said the food was okay but not great. Coming from mom, this doesn’t mean much as she dislikes so many things now. Who doesn’t like chicken? The only one she likes is KFC.🍗

Sitting With Feelings

Taking the time to sit with your feelings to acknowledge them, will save you much distress down the road.

It can take great courage to really sit with our feelings, allowing ourselves to surrender to their powerful energies. All too often we set our feelings aside, thinking we will deal with them later. If we don’t deal with them, we end up storing them in our minds and bodies and this is when anxiety and other health issues can arise. Denying what our bodies want to feel can lead to trouble now or down the line, which is why being in the thick of our feelings, no matter how scary it seems, is really the best thing we can do for ourselves.

One of the reasons we tend to hide or push aside our feelings is that we live in a culture that has not traditionally supported emotional awareness. However, as the connection between mind and body — our emotions and our physical health — becomes clearer, awareness of the importance of feeling our feelings has grown. There are many books, classes, workshops and retreats that can help us on our way to emotional intelligence. We can also trust in our own ability to process what comes up when it comes up. If sadness arises, we can notice its presence and welcome it, noting where in our bodies we feel it, and allowing ourselves to express it through tears or a quiet turning inward.

When we simply allow ourselves to fully feel our feelings as they come, we tend to let them go easily. This is all we are required to do; our feelings simply want to be felt. We often complicate the situation by applying mental energy in the form of analysis, when all we really need is to allow, as the earth allows the rain to fall upon it. As the rain falls, the earth responds in a multitude of ways, sometimes emptying out to form a great canyon, sometimes soaking it up to nourish an infinitude of plants. In the same way, the deeper purpose of our feelings is to transform the terrain of our inner world, sometimes creating space for more feelings to flow, sometimes providing sustenance for growth. All we need to do is allow the process by relaxing, opening, and receiving the bounty of our emotions. Think about it. 😘✨
