Negative Thoughts

My negative thoughts are like a virus. They lie dormant until my mental immune system weakens. Then they bubble to the surface where they fight to take over. For me acceptance is the remedy, the key –accepting the moment and the truth that what is, is. Worries about the future or regrets for the past can have no bearing on this one moment – only acceptance empowers my positive thoughts and the recognition that what is, IS in this moment and embrace its blessings. It seems that each battle is over more quickly and my positive thoughts stronger. Gratefully I realize that the IS and this moment are pretty damn fine. I am truly blessed.

  1. May we always recognize our blessings and know that grace resides in the soul of our deep feelings. Thank you for your comment today. I really appreciate it.

    ps. I'm looking forward to reading your story of the convent. :) Have you read Karen Armstrong's experience?? Good read.
