Feelings

The past couple of weeks have felt as though I was on a perpetual roller coaster of feelings.  For those of you who know me, a roller coaster is my least favorite fun park ride.  In fact, ain't nobody getting me on one ever again. Been there, done that.  On a more serious note, I have experienced a plethora of emotions that have drained me energetically.

Without going into much detail, I was surprised and frustrated by an experience with another individual.  Actually, very angry. After much self-examination and prayer, I realized it wasn't all about me at all. Terry Cole-Whitaker's book, "What You Think of Me Is None of My Business," came to mind during this time. Everyone is where they are.  Sometimes we take things way to personally. And sometimes we are way too hard on ourselves.

However, I still felt some frustration and went about "doing" what I felt needed to be done.  Immediately events were set into motion and my feelings went from frustrated to elated. The Universe was taking charge and doors were opening, but....

The doors closed.  I was back to square one.  This time I didn't feel the frustration as much as many of my friends.  For once again, I realized change is the only constant in this world. What seemed to be today is only one episode in this saga called life. Things are still moving just at their own speed, not mine.  Divine Right Action is unfolding....in God's Time.

All this being said, I do think it is important to accept our feelings as real at the moment. I have often denied or apologized for my feelings. Stuffing our anger may only make it erupt at a future time.  Acting happy when we are actually quite sad or disillusioned is just denying who we are at the moment. As I've mentioned before we can visit the condo in the valley; we just don't want to take residence there for very long.

So, I have visited that condo, acknowledged all those feelings of anger, frustration, happiness, disillusionment, etc. But now I'm ready to come back to the reality of my life. It is really pretty good.  In fact, it is fantastic!

While visiting that bittersweet condo, I came across some wonderful Facebook pages that assisted me in my stay.  Some of them are geared to the female population but I'm hoping the feminine in those guys who read my blog will enjoy them too.
