New World

Yesterday I was feeling like a deserved a  “treat” and food was the answer momentarily.  I was tired and had worked hard all day.  My husband took me to Subway for dinner on my work break and I grabbed for a bag of baked chips.  That was going to be my treat. 

Then I looked at the back at the ingredients.  The first thing that stood out was artificial yellow coloring.  After reading that I put the bag back down, realizing that in the world I am now living in, that is not a treat.  ”Artificial yellow coloring” was definitely not the treat I, my body or my spirit, was looking for.  I am living in a new world. 

Later at work I took a momentary break.  I sat in the conference room and took some deep breaths.  In my head I repeated “love” when I inhaled, and “trust” upon exhale.  That was the “treat” I was looking for.  A moment of breathing in love and letting out trust.  “Artifical yellow coloring” definitely wouldn’t have given me what I truly needed and that was to feel loved, and to let go of control.

May there be peace within.

Love,

Gina
