I think these same thoughts hit those of us getting older – ie. now in their 50′s. You don’t feel like the person looking back at you from the mirror. – On those days, it’s vital for me to capture every thought. Kay Missler used to say it’s your M&M times – having to capture a thought moment by moment. Otherwise, before I realise it, I am sinking in the mire. And it’s hard to resist the wallowing when I am there.
The wallowing is the killer.
Yes, so true. It’s those wallowing, festering thoughts that are soul crushing. I am working on not allowing myself to dwell on things that are obviously not from God. The condemnation and insecurities that hinder true relationship with each other. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. You are stunning, both inside and out, no matter your age. Plus, you have the amazing accent. Such a bonus!
