I guess we go through something in life so that 1) we can learn and 2) others can learn from us (as to what to do and NOT what to do, he he). Yeah, we have different approaches -- at least may options ang readers, ha ha! Beauty in diversity. Body and emotions...sige next dissertation ko 'yan ;-) Thanks Crissy!

I went ahead and dealt with my shoulder pain last night and got a good beating from 2 masahistas at City Lifestyle (Ok sila! And we will still push through with our Palm Garden date ha.). In the course of the 1 hour treatment, many times they touched on something that was so painful I would just laugh in pain. That's my normal reaction to pain, natatawa until tears start to run. When I had my long weekend at The Farm, the doctor there told me that our body parts store particular emotions and memories. Interesting research...hint, hint. ;-) Here's one trivia: the liver stores anger. Hmm... Forgiveness is really hard. What made me learn how to be quick to forgive (others and myself) is when I read somewhere that forgiveness is a decision...not an emotion. All the feelings may not support the decision to forgive, you may not even want to re-establish relationships with that person (or yourself), but the decision to forgive the offense is done nevertheless. Why...well, because in my Christian belief, God said to pray "...as we forgive those who sinned against us..." When I realized that my forgiveness and reunion with my God is anchored on my ability to forgive others (and humbly ask for forgiveness as well), that's when I realized how much power I have in my control. Yun, just sharing...and I hope this does not become a "usual remark[s] from well meaning people." :-) You know what, kanya-kanya tayo ng approach to healing...isn't diversity wonderful! And it's very good that there are people like you who put it out there for others to munch on as well. Generous Chona. Hey Chons…nice post.
