Cold weather can create misery.
Avoidance of what is painful makes life more painful.
To focus on avoiding this cold weather imprisons me.
To accept this cold weather creates an internal freedom inside of me.
When I allow myself to feel what is present inside of me, I acquire freedom and wisdom.
Every moment well embraced becomes a positive journey into emotional and spiritual freedom.
Happiness results when I stop avoiding what is painful in each present moment.
The blessing of sharing my feelings with someone bring me closer to myself and God.
Pain is not be be avoided but simply embraced.
I can’t heal what I refuse to feel.
Each moment is mean to be a positive experience of a loving God.
There are no unimportant moments in life.
We are all in this life together with each other and with God.
I will always be grateful for this journey.
