I know without self-awareness, we could never really grow spiritually, but sometimes self-awareness can knock me off my little ‘self’-made pedestal I hadn’t even been ‘aware’ I’d made! Ugh!
Just now I was getting into shaming myself mode for not following thru on my plans to water my poor garden early before the day got too hot because I had rolled over and gone back to sleep.
I immediately stopped myself from the shame-game which I knew was counter-productive, by choosing ‘Acceptance’. BUT ‘acceptance’ doesn’t just mean “Awww, girl, you’re ok just the way you are.” It really means Accepting Reality and I was brought up short with the ‘awareness’ that I could’a and should’a but would’nt! Back to shaming myself…
So here I am, journaling about the whole thing instead of GOING OUTSIDE TO DO what I ‘should’a been doing’. I need to TALAT* !!! ~~~ right after I get some breakfast…..
