I’m covered in an abundance of proverbial upchuck. And you know when you are around ‘purging’ that of the real physical kind, the action (smell) tends to cause you to ‘purge’ as well? It’s the same reaction with verbal purging. 🙂
Sorry for the grotesque analogy…especially if you are reading this during a meal time. 😉
I think it’s good and healthy to get rid of what is frustrating and potentially poisonous to the spirit as long as when we speak about what is on our minds it is not defaming someone’s character, or being said only to feed pride instead of cleansing the heart to free it up to offer more love instead of unwanted anger/resentment/hurt/frustration/confusion that can ultimately lead to a colossal blow out!
Though the day was filled with resolving issues that needed to be dealt with, and a good amount of ‘healthy’ verbal purging which brought about a deeper understanding of particular situations AND people…I still feel a bit of discord. I’m the type that likes to see everyone ‘getting along’ and on the ‘same page’. One of my counselors in years past called me a ‘fixer’. I want to ‘fix’ everything so that it is all ‘better’…but I’ve also learned that sometimes the ‘mess’ needs to come out so it can be dealt with and disposed.
I will be honest, sometimes I think back to that moment on the plane where I felt at peace with my life and what I’d accomplished and I was ready to ‘go home’ to God. I go back to that peaceful moment and think ‘what is it I still need to do??? UGH’! 😉
I say this in jest, of course.
Now I’m going to literally clean my house for my parents arrival tomorrow. We haven’t seen them since Easter!! Now THAT is a shame.
Blessings
