(We are reading a chapter every couple of weeks from "Feelings Buried Alive Never Die" by Karol K. Truman. Pick up a copy and join us, or pick another book you'd like.)

Chapter 7: Let's Get Started

I was totally in agreement with the author's words about being mindful of what we feel, think, say, and do. This is very important in helping make our life better. We need to make sure what we feel, think, say, and do are positive. This chapter is all about how to go about changing any negative we have into positive.

Unresolved feelings don't and won't go away. It does no good to "stuff them" or pretend they're not there. They will be heard sooner or later. It can be in a good and positive way or a destructive way. Recognizing and processing any negative makes resolution possible. I think we all realize that these negatives we've been carrying around for some time won't disappear overnight.

It is amazing how many of us say we like or love ourselves, but we really don't. We feel insecure, unattractive, or a host of other things. I have used "The Script" many times and it has helped rid me of some bitter feelings from old hurts and so much more. I must admit I haven't used the Script as much as I should since first reading it over a year ago. I'm so glad I revisited this book with you. I plan to make using The Script an everyday part of my life now.

What a marvelous goal of using the script. To like, love, accept, and truly trust yourself. Can you imagine how wonderful it's going to feel when you finally can truly do these things? Awesome chapter! Bookmark it for sure! I hope you found some great insight for your life and situations!

COMICAL HAPPENINGS

I'm watching a man read a newspaper. Now you would think this would be a pretty boring way to spend my time. Oh, contrare!
He's reading the paper and it catches my eye (sometimes this is not a good thing) because he's turning it sideways. You know, like some people do with certain magazines that have a "fold out" section? Know what I'm talking about?

Anyway, so I'm staring at him trying to figure out what the heck is going on. I know one of our twice weekly papers is read "first half-flip over-second half" because it's printed that way, but this was clearly a "centerfold half-turn" action. So I make it my "mission" that day to view the variety of papers we have to see if I can discover the "half-turn" culprit. But alas, my efforts are futile.

Once the mind starts racing there's no stopping the imagination that an "unsolved mystery" brings . . .
I've concluded that the man is married and his wife likes to do little things that he'll notice throughout his long day at work so he will look forward to coming home each day. This particular day she left him an adoring note in the paper he took to work. She taped it sideways into the section he was reading on the bus! What do you think?

PARTING THOUGHTS

It's always a pleasure to spend a little time with you and give you a little to think about and perhaps a few chuckles along the way.

Stay safe. Have loads of summer fun and I'll see you again in a couple of weeks! Ciao!
