We have entered a new phase in this two-year-old's life.

One guess.

Go!

I got up and read my bible this morning and prayed pretty constantly about a situation that has unfolded that everyone is avoiding like the plague. I sat down to write, but my words were just covering up, good, old-fashioned anger.  So I took a break and headed to my inbox where my postcard from the cosmos was waiting:

Greetings,

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal
with the intent of throwing it at someone else;
you are always the one who gets burned.
- The Buddha  

And I laughed. Right clicked, saved and erased my post to post this instead.

I will still pray there is some sort of resolution, but I won't waste my time being so angry about it, nor will I immerse myself in it this summer.  Bottom line? I do not own this situation.

As much as I try to practice my faith--I'm one heck of a grudge holder! And although, my practice is usually to avoid, if given the chance I will address what needs to be addressed.  I will do so without accusation or placing blame--I have concerns; I have a voice. I have a choice.  Today I choose not to let it wast my energy with negativity.  I give it to God--He can handle it.  He's good at giving me permission to let things go and giving it to Him.  Blessed.  Always blessed.
