OMG. . .In So Many Ways

Stepping Over

Sometimes we have to “step over” our anger, our jealousy, or our feelings of rejection and move on. . .It might be good to have a look at these dark feelings and explore where they come from, but there comes a moment to step over them, leave them behind, and travel on.

Just when I need to hear something.  But would rather not.  Thank you very much!

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .quite happy to wander around in this anger.

Oh yes, feels familiar.  This judgement.  Not doing it according to my playbook.  For heaven’s sake.  And I would rather not move on.  Travel on.  Maybe. Get as far away as possible.  But the anger is still dragging along.  In my sack of “ why didn’t you listen to me?” suggestions.

OMG. . .have you ever wandered in this territory?  Of anger?  Recalling past injustices?  But with great satisfaction of how you wouldn’t have done it that way.

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .I believe that’s titled “self-righteous”

Hmmm. . . perhaps something to step over.

Yes.  Eventually.  But for now. . .firmly planted in the anger.  And that’s okay.  Can’t force the step over.  Yes, okay to explore the genesis.  But leave the anger behind? 

OMG. . .In So Many Ways.  Could take a bit of time.  For the anger to morph into empathy and compassion.  But eventually. Hopefully.
