Last week, I was cutting up vegetables for a stir fry with my very sharp chef knife, and I nicked the tip of my thumb. It bled a bit, I put a bandage on it and carried on making my dinner. I realized later the extent of the cut. I could have use a stitch on it but I didn't I just kept and eye on it and nursed it myself. As it started to heal, I got a real insight on the amazing power of our bodies. New skin grew, and I almost have a new thumb tip. I'm not writing this to be gross. I'm talking about it because it got me to thinking. If I can heal a physical wound, it goes to show that we are strong and can heal any hurt we suffer in this life. We have to nurse ourselves through the initial cut and pain, until the new grow starts. We have to allow time to take it's course and do the healthy behaviors that allow the healing, be it physical, mental or emotional. A good support system is like a good bandage. It protects us as we start to heal. We don't need the bandage forever, as the wound get better, just like sometimes we won't need the high level of our support system, as we get stronger. In fact, we can often then be in a place to be a "bandage" for some one else and their healing process.
Yes, I firmly believe we can heal anything in our lives and our world. Not saying it is easy. Not saying we will. But we can. We can regenerate ourselves.
Is there something you would like to heal in your life?
Until next week...create to feel great!
