Good or Bad ... Happy or Sad...

[mrdreamjeans]

I've been on the go since early this morning, busy with a number of items that need attention before I leave. In the midst of multi-tasking, while driving, I often use the time to ponder statements, quotations, ideas that I've read or have been mentioned to me.

I had a couple of quotes stuck on stickie notes with me today in my truck. The first is a devastatingly accurate sentence from a meditation, posted by Nashoba Bear in Boston. It has stuck with me as a good definition of a toxic person. The other is a humorous prayer, but as is often the case, the humor comes from truth:)

The quotation from one of Les's posts is a meditation for incest survivors. Here is what it says, "Holding a resentment against someone is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

Much room for thought.....

"Senility Prayer"...

God grant me...
The senility to forget the people I never liked
The good fortune to run into the ones that I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference."

"Holding a resentment against someone is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

Thank...I needed to hear this one. I'm trying to forgive the past and work some poison out of my system. (not caused by wife by the way)
