Your Daily Reprieve for February  , 2021   From Jacksonville, FL

Nature always takes her time.  Great oaks don't become great overnight.  They also lose a lot of leaves, branches, and bark in the process of becoming great.   -Andrew Matthews     “These days I find that nothing is as precious as my sanity. I used to be addicted to drama and could only function on excitement and high levels of adrenaline. It’s very different today ... It’s all very ordinary and average and sane, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything”     London, England, February 1997, From: “Mesmerized by Sanity”, Spiritual Awakenings

Pot Luck   Today's quotation: There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life. unattributed Today's Meditation: The tendency that I learned while growing up was to hold on to things.  If you insulted me two days ago--or a week ago, even--I'd still be holding on to that insult, mulling it over in my mind, making myself go through alternate cycles of self-pity, anger, hurt, and all the other emotions that come with an insult.  I certainly would not let it go and go on with my life, and I'd be making myself miserable because of what you said or did. Fortunately, I've learned to see the self-destructiveness inherent in that pattern.  I've learned about the art of letting go, of moving on to other things and accepting what happened for exactly what it was, but not letting a hurt continue to cause me pain. If you hurt me, it's like you're immediately attaching a heavy ball and chain to my ankle, and the weight of them causes my mind constantly to return to the weight and the pain.  The most important thing that I've learned, though, is that I have the key to that chain, and I can reach down and unshackle myself any time I want. Sometimes it takes effort to do so.  In extreme circumstances, I've had to let go of "friendships" with people who constantly caused me pain, and when I've been able to let go of what I saw as a friendship, my life has improved dramatically. Most of the time when people hurt us, they do so because they're in pain themselves, and they don't know quite how to deal with that pain.  Hurtful actions and words are a result of their pain.  If we allow that hurt to affect our lives negatively, though, then we allow their hurt to become a part of our lives.  If we don't learn to let go of such things, we're damaging ourselves, and we're certainly not helping others.
