Inner Dialogue

There are times when things just come to you with such clarity that they can not be ignored, when truths are realized and hidden meanings come to the surface. I've been struggling to discover the root of my frustration and anger, but couldn't quite get there for some reason. I knew, of course, the surface symptoms that caused the pain, but I wasn't quite able to put my finger on the source, until a "sudden intuitive realization" hit me last week. The lack of understanding kept the wound raw and open, and made it easy for me to be reactive to the circumstances. Now I feel a certain amount of freedom, an optimism that life will go on and get better, an understanding of a deep part of my inner self.

Speaking with a friend yesterday, she mentioned that since I made this self-discovery my attitude has lightened up, my mood has changed, and she has seen a noticable difference in me. My life is so chaotic and cluttered sometimes that I didn't even notice the change. I am so thankful for those around me that serve as guideposts and sounding boards, helping me keep life in perspective. Again, I am blessed to be surrounded by some of the choice spirits Heavenly Father has sent my way!
