I forgot that we had a holiday on Monday. Thanks for the head’s up. Garbage and Recycle is tomorrow. YEAH……..

I, like you, awoke this morning to a beaut of a sinus attack. It hit me from all sides. Not sure if it was something I ate or just from all the things that happened from Friday until today. I was not able to get into the car for one last thing we needed at Costco. Taking it easy right now and I will see about tomorrow. This is the first time since Covid that I’ve been knocked down and out.

Received voice mail from our doctor’s office with the name of the cardiologist and phone number to make our appointment. I will call tomorrow morning and will ask for the first available day. I will keep you posted. I was surprised to learn that they have had my husband’s name since January 8th. And no phone call was ever made to us until two weeks prior with a date three days prior to surgery. I do have a backup to contact if this physician is not available.

I had a little of the clam chowder today. Not like New England or the clear from Rhode Island, but it was tasty. Loads of clams. Thank goodness I purchased two small containers. Each made two cups (huge) of soup. Hubby finished what was in the pot. I guess “Mickey” liked it. It’s gone!!

Like you, our telly is off. I do not like the news at all. I just wish people could get along and be thankful for what they have and what they have accomplished. Too much going on.

Take care. Bundle up. “Baby, It’s cold outside.”

Looking At What We Don’t Want To See

The feelings that make us want to run away are buried treasure, full of energy and inspiration if we are willing to look.

It is one of life’s great paradoxes that the things we don’t want to look at in ourselves are the very things we need to look at in order to know ourselves better and to become more fully who we are. The feelings that make us want to run away are buried treasure full of energy and inspiration if we are willing to look. These feelings come in many forms, from strange images or snippets of information to recurring dreams and feelings that rise up seemingly without a reason. Whatever shape they come in, and no matter how scary they seem, these messengers bring the information we need in order to grow.

When we are tired of pushing something down, or trying to run away from it, a good first step is to write down what we think we are avoiding. Often this turns out to be only the surface of the issue or a symbol of something else. Expressing ourselves fully on paper is a safe way to begin exploring the murky territory of the unconscious. The coolness of the intellect can give us the distance we need to read what we have written and feel less afraid of it. It helps if we remember that no matter how dark or negative our thoughts or feelings may be, these are energies shared by all humanity. We are not alone in the dark, and all the gurus and teachers we admire had to go through their own unprocessed emotional territory in order to come out the other side brighter and wiser. This can give us the courage we need to open the treasure chest of what we have been avoiding.

Within the parts of ourselves that we don’t want to look at, there are emotions that need to be felt. Unfelt emotions are stuck energy, and when we leave emotions unprocessed, we deprive ourselves of access to that energy. When we feel strong enough, we can begin the process of feeling those emotions, on our own or with guidance from a spiritual counselor. It is through this work that the buried treasure of energy and inspiration will pour forth from our hearts, giving us the courage to look at all the parts of ourselves with insight and compassion. AMEN! ✨
