I got up this morning thinking I was in the midst of either the mother of all allergy attacks or a very slow moving cold...for the past 24 hours, all I've done, it seems, is sneeze and blow my nose. Otherwise I have no body aches or other than the usual pains of old age (of which there are many, may I say with a certain about of jaundice).
I've opened my mind that allergy or cold may not be the only two options. A friend called a couple days ago sounding like a fog-horn and with her own sneeze, blow and bitch. I remembered back when I was doing macrobiotics that the instructor then told us we could expect to experience cold-like symptoms. He said we need not be overly concerned, that came from our body adjusting to a healthy regime as it threw off the results of fast foods, negative attitudes, and a self-absorbed mindset. Toxins, in fact, stored inside from our own less-than-wonderful habits.
Since I do believe all things work together for our good, I'm choosing to believe that I'm experiencing the release of those toxins, not an allergy attack, not a cold. Follow me here, please: My friend's call jogged my memory of cold-like symptoms being the release of toxins...which brought back my recent recognition of the possibility of Gertrude's to-the-naked-eye negative actions actually being initiation for me and for her, gifting me with forgiveness. And there it is, forgiveness releases...period.
The trouble with spiritual beliefs in the moment is we can't show proof until after the fact. So if tomorrow I write about the flu I've come down with...well, there it is: God can't help but love me, I give him so much to work with.
Thank you.
