One of the most amazing experiences I have encountered is being able to exist amidst seemingly conflicted experiences.  I used to think that if you felt sad or disappointed that it was the dominating experience.  I didn’t know it was possible to have both sadness and gratitude at the same time.  Or to feel a sense of peace and physical pain at the same time.  Somewhere in my experience I took on the belief that you could only be one thing at a time.  Perhaps I was sensitive and overwhelmed by everything I felt at once and decided to choose one.  The reasons why matter little.  But I finally get the whole rollercoaster of life.  All in the course of one day you can be up and down and while the up part is exhilarating it is also a little scary.  Maybe that is why the body senses fear and excitement the same and it is left up to us to decide which it is that we are feeling.  God created all the emotions we experience and he didn’t make them “good or bad, right or wrong”, I do that.  And when I remember to let go of the judgment, I can be grateful that I am alive and feeling.  There was a time when I was so numbed out I didn’t feel much of anything.  Today I practice gratitude for feeling.  My prayer for us today is to have the curiosity to see what multitude of feelings are present in any given moment and attach to the most freeing one.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
