Floored by Revelation

My husband showed me this today and after seeing it I really don't know what to say. I feel like it's so true. Please give yourself ample time to watch this. I promise it will stike a chord. And I think it's time we make some music.

What I learned about bubbles

Years ago, I couldn't tell you when exactly, I was watching an episode of a show called Dharma & Greg and something one of the characters said stuck with me.

"Put it in a bubble and blow it away."


That little statement from a silly sitcom is advise that I think all of us should take to heart. We've all suffered hurt, pain, and humiliation . Felt, angry, jealous, resentment, betrayed and even abandoned . We've held a grudge (or still do), been unforgiving, and have blamed others for the bad things that have happened in our lives. But what have any of us gained from this. Nothing but daughters and fathers who don't speak. Wives who hate their husbands because they don't feel equal in the relationship. Brothers and sisters who don't trust each other because of things that were once hastily said or done. Friends who feel alone in the world.

Carrying all this has kept us from fully experiencing and sometimes completely missing the happiness that is so available to us. When it comes right down to it we are the ones in charge of how we feel. It's up to us to decided if life will shape us or break us.

So I implore you, when others wound you and situations beat you down and you think you'll never be able to get over what just happened, please choose to.......
