Back to the picnic

[needgrace]

When you think of any achievement - do you cherish crossing the finish line? or all the steps that go you there?

Take time to cherish the steps!

Thanks Val for the reminder, I tend to be a focus on the finish line person and am working on enjoying the steps there

i had a bit of insight today listening to tara... she talks about how the pain is like being hit by an arrow... and we can choose to sit with the pain or throw another arrow... at ourselves or at another.. i have done plenty of that as a way to avoid pain, either beat myself up or had thoughts of anger with X and OW. my goal right now is just to sit with the hurt.. it happens much less often, lasts much less longer and is much less intense.

patience with the healing process and sitting with the hurt without throwing arrows... that is my work now.
