The Unruly Mind vs the Quiet heart
Been learning through a class on The Way of Forgiveness that illnesses are made worse if you have anything you need to forgive someone for, or to be forgiven for. Great peace and quiet have come to me through this wonderful chance.
Doing an Advent spiritual advisor class. Learning to control my unruly (wayward) mind and work on having a quiet heart. Lots of prayer, counsel, thought and silence. (In my family the "silent treatment" was a punishment) -- with God silence is peace, love and warm contentment.
So, learning. Trying to accept the multiple chronic illnesses, and whatever this new thing is.
