Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 You were right on the money with the interpretation, Bruce. When I first read the interpretation I felt it was accurate, but later the very same day, an emotional stampede ensued. For two nights I was balling my eyes out over all the hurt that had been done to me. I cried, mourned, everything. When it was all over I had another breakthrough. I came to terms and realized that I must forgive because I have no way of " fixing " the situation. What will I do, keep crying over it? That every person involved may have even changed within themselves and how would I know? That what they must learn from the situation is none of my concern. That is their path in life and their internal demons they must face when the time comes. I know I have said I forgive before, but this time I really meant it and it has sunk in. The pressure is releasing. I also had an interesting (random) idea come to me yesterday. I realized I should adopt a Maltese. I never thought I would be one to spend hundreds of dollars for a high maintenance animal, but now I am looking forward to sharing my love with a new little friend. They are well known to be great companions and I cant wait. It took some talking my husband into it, especially since we already have 2 kids running around and he isn't fond of ankle biters, but I did. I am not one whom ever thought that I could devote so much time and love to an animal, especially to the extent that you must love that breed of dog, but now I know it will be good therapy. I am looking to finding my new little friend in the near future =)I feel so good about it. I feel this is going to change my life in a big way. In a good way. So yeah... the interpretation was right. I thought the snake would hurt me, and it did, but everything was fine afterward. The puncture marks were only temporary indentations on my skin. A definite emotional healing for sure. And a puppy to boot! (Me with a purse dog? huh? Never saw that one coming lol) =) -Tiffany S , " BruceO " <bruce_oom wrote: > > Hey Tiffany > > thanks for sharing the dream.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi Tiffany, thats wonderful that you are going deeper and deeper into forgiveness and accepting things for what they are. I read a quote today, that 'acceptance happens when we accept the unacceptable, and thats when grace enters ' I am grateful for Shakti (and to that snake.. which I had a love-hate relationship with..lol) for taking me through layers of healing, and thankful that it allows me to bring a little companionship to your journey... I used to be all over the place for days when it bit me..haha.. and also wonderful about the maltese. I used to have one; i got Kate when I was five and she lived about 15 years, and was an amazing friend. Makes me want to get another dog again... are you going to carry it around in your handbag with colored ribbons in its hair? love Bruce , " angelikdementia " <angelikdementia wrote: > > You were right on the money with the interpretation, Bruce.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thanks for sharing about forgiveness Tiffany and Bruce. I have been up and down for a month (mainly down) starting with my brother creating a scene at my wedding last month. He is an angry man at age 40 and wishes I would move away so he could have all the attention of our parents. When I told him last year (when I moved back) that Mom and Dad have enough love for the both of us he started screaming at me. This is the type of man he is (the scene at the wedding was not this scene). Though my anger has dissipated, I can barely look at him at family functions. I am having a hard time forgiving him. I don't want to pretend that what he did was okay. But I am choosing to carry this.... any more comments on letting go out there? Normally I would not be around this type of person, but I have to. It would be too upsetting for my parents otherwise. You have all helped me through this month, for I never stopped reading your posts.
