A friend gave me this precious little box. The first thing I put in it was a
pink rock shaped like a heart that I found on a beach walk.

Have you ever
noticed how certain things can twist your gut?
Personally, I do not like
that
gut-wrenching feeling...
and try to avoid it as much as
possible.
I used to ignore
it. Yikes!!!
Here are a few
of things I find gut-wrenching:
Movies that
are scary or too dramatic. I
don't like sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens
next any more than I like getting on a roller coaster.
Guilt can twist me up. There are two actions I can take if I'm carrying guilt. One is to make my amends. The other is a little trickier because sometimes I feel guilty over crimes I didn't commit. In that case, I owe myself an amends by letting it go.
Worry can take me on a whirling ride. If I give my thoughts to fear, I will waste my precious life obsessing over things I am powerless over. Faith is always the better option.
Pushing myself to
do more because I don't believe that I am enough...or that I
do enough. I need to pay close attention to my needs; emotionally, physically, spiritually.
Analyzing life...spending zillions of
pointless hours in my head trying out things I will never understand. I need to live in the present moment.
Hanging
on when it's time to let go. Everything has a season. When the season is over, it's time for change.

A faith is a necessity to a man.
Woe to him who believes in nothing.
