As I embark
on my latest adventure tomorrow (off to Nicaragua) I am reminded of all that I
have and how grateful I am for all that I have….
Every time I
prepare for one of these trips I am compelled to reach out to those I love and
make sure I have closed all ties and told them how much I care about them….a
very reactive way of being…
This time I
did the same…as usual...emailed, called and text
As I was in the process of reaching out to those I love....I realized this time was different...It wasn't necessary this time....I didn't need to come from a place of reaction or urgency
Why????
I have been
very deliberate the last two years of my life in reaching out to those I love
and making sure they know how much they mean to me…
I have some
serious loss in my life….as we all have…and I have tried to use those experiences
as daily reminders to not leave anything unsaid…not leave loose ends
My children
know how much I love them….and I know how much they love me
My family
My friends
The person I
love….the people I love…
All ends are
tied…all ends were tied...
My
relationship with my God is strong and those ends are tied…
I am not
anticipating anything but joy on this trip….
But on the
day before this trip I have discovered something very important about myself…
I have no “loose
ends”.... no “I love you” missed.... no “you are important to me" to say.... and no unfinished
business with my God…
Don’t tie up
loose ends or express your feelings in a reactive or urgent way before a trip or big
event….Do it now
So when that trip or big event happens or life and death take its course...….there
is nothing left to say…
Tie up those loose ends today
Love you all
and see you in a couple of weeks…
Keeping it
Real with Dr. Mary G
