~ Airy ~ Light ~ Clean ~

Imagine that you have the house of your dreams and the yard to
go with it.    Just in this little moment, let’s also say that you
love to be out in your yard tending to your award winning
flower beds, and you have the time to do that.

It’s a summer morning and you are out bright and early.
Weeding, planting more flowers and adding dark rich peat moss
around your flower beds.

You’ve worked up quite a sweat, your finger nails are loaded
with a rim of dark peat.    Smudges of dirt are in the creases of
your arms, and your face is just streaked with mud and sweat lines.

You come in the house done with the mornings work.    You walk in
the bathroom, take a look at yourself and say….

“Nope, I’m not taking a shower, I’m just going to hold on to this look…..
AND SMELL !!!!!

You look at the clock and think, “Wow, I have to get to the grocery store”.

You grab your keys and out the door you go……..  Leaving the house just
as you walked in from the mornings yard work.
Could you EVER in a million years picture yourself walking out of the
house looking like this ?????

I hear a RESOUNDING…………  “Nooooooooooooo”

This little scenario is make believe --- 

But I can assure you that this is just what your ~spirit~ and insides look like
and smell like when you choose to hold on to anger and resentment.

Our spirits and souls were meant to be airy, light and clean.

Ohhhhhh yeah, all well and good in some dream world.   You don’t know what
so and so said to me.   You don’t know what so and so did to me.

In the big picture of life, it really does not totally matter what others say or do.
What matters is how we choose to HANG on and process that.

So now you know…….. you have a choice.     LET GO and clean your ~spirit~
or hold on and let it MUCK you up from the inside out.

IF your insides were visible, just what would they look like ???

Remember………
“You can never control another’s actions, you can only control your reaction”
