LOOKING FORWARD TO FEBRUARY
Why am I celebrating peace?
Because its a great feeling!
I got this idea from another writer.
I'm celebrating peace this week. Have you ever had that feeling that you're so exhausted-you don't know if there's light at the end of the tunnel?
That was me for a second. But then I had this breakthrough and I was able to get some energy.
I came across a writer's favorite quote:
"Hatred is a sword with a second blade pointed inward. The more I wield it, the more I destroy myself. My battles are not with those who anger me, but within myself, as I struggle to weed out and destroy the silly reasons I use to justify that anger." (anonymous)
Mitch Albom also had this to say

Holding anger is a poison...It eats you from inside...We think that by hating someone we hurt them...But hatred is a curved blade...and the harm we do to others...we also do to ourselves.”

So true about anger and hatred! I am hoping to curtail mine more, and redirect it into constructive actions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
It's so true, 'every action has a reaction' and I'm learning more than ever the importance of intent.
DeleteWhat thoughtful messages, Trin, especially in these troubled times.
