Today's reflection... July is the month for Understanding In all relationships, regardless of their nature, there comes the moment when you understand that there are some things you will never understand. When you are standing in that moment just be all right with it. _____________________________________________ I will gain more understanding when I realize.. I must open my heart ot others if I want to stop hurting. Very often, we shut our hearts or shut others out to protect ourselves from being hurt. While we are on guard, we are defensive. Often, we become unapproachable and unavailable. We look for, and usually find, an ulterior motive in everything and everyone. The motives and agendas we see, whether they exist or not, are the reasons we must protect ourselves. At the same time we are isolated and lonely. We don't want to be hurt. We don't want to be alone, but we don't know what to do about how we feel. It is important to understand that when you shut your heart down, or live life on the defensive, there is absolutely no way healing or light or love can get in. When you shut down, you are going to keep on hurting. Just for today, let someone into your heart. Open yourself to the healing light of love. Expect the best. You may be surprised by what happens. _____________________________________________ I would like to share my understanding in this.. cause I understand it totally.. I changed my profile to read.. under-construction.. just looking for pen pals.. and decided to just concentration on myself.. although I still am working on myself, something different happened.. The sweetest most wonderful man.. knocked on my door and with his love opened my heart. See, I not only changed my profile to work on me.. I did it to protect me from not being hurt anymore. I stopped believing... I stopped trusting... I stopped or believe I stopped wanting.. until Heartman77 came into my life.. He has shown me through his love that not everyone is going to hurt you.. Why share this with you? Because I believe most of us live on the defense.. and live in that or some kind of fear of true love.. and I wanted to let you know.. that .. Opening your heart to allow the right person in, is the most wonderful experience in the world.. Believe everyone! There is someone out there just waiting to knock and be let in! Have a great day!

Gina, thanks for sharing this. There is a gentleman I have been keeping at arms length because of a variety of legitimate reasons (enough so that he agreed it was necessary). But right now he is grieving a death he feels partially responsible for. Your post helps answer some questions about what to do. Thank you! Another thought: When I was in junior high I went to a music seminar led by Maynard Ferguson, the trumpeter. He said something I've never forgotten. "The best wisdom is to know that you don't know and to admit it."
