TEMPTING


Sometimes it’s tempting to just snuggle into our nest and pull the covers over our head.  We know our nest is dysfunctional and we know we’re not living up to our potential.  The thing is...

...we’re tired.  We don’t want to struggle.  We just want to lie here quietly with the covers over our heads.  Perhaps flight just wasn’t meant for us.

It’s okay.  Because we do get tired.  That’s reality.  So rest for a while.

It’s helpful that while we rest, we remember to be thankful for what we have, grateful for what we’ve accomplished so far.   We’ll weave together the strands of our lifeline that way.  The lifeline that will pull us through our rut, our dysfunctional nest and our repetitive destructive behaviors, through our fears, sadness and melancholy.   Thankfulness and gratitude are the only way through.
