In the mud. In the muck of situations in my life.<br /><br />You know what that feels like. Nothing is quite going your way. Some things aren’t even pretending to go your way. And there’s so many of them. You can’t quite get a handle on the whole mess. There’s no traction – no place to grab onto to start turning things around.<br /><br />That’s the thick.<br /><br />For me, thin is what it feels like when nothing is happening. Nothing is working. Energy is being expended. Goals are being set. Doing is going on. But the world is gliding by without being affected by all of this. Like a giant “so what?”<br /><br />That’s the thin.<br /><br />What you try to do with thick or thin is just get through them. Go with them. Allow them to resolve themselves.<br /><br />Better yet, we can look inside and try to figure out our part in creating this mess. After all, the mess is an exact reflection of who we’re being. Who are we being in order to attract this thick and thin? It’s easy to blame ourselves then.<br /><br />That’s where your honey can help. Joyce helps me know that I’m alright. In showering me with unconditional love – love despite the muck – she lets me know that I am worthy.<br /><br />When she reminds me that I’m worthy, that helps me remind myself. And there’s nothing quite like feeling self-worth to help you shake off the muck and move gently through thick and thin.Rog and Joycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06818889761877461592noreply@blogger.com
