For your consideration…

The calls of doves and grackles is constant at the place I am renting in Utila. But when3 grackles were mixing it up on my porch and almost landed in my kitchen, I realized I needed to take note.

So what does it mean when grackles show up. It means it is time to take care of and let go of emotional baggage. While yesterday’s message told us to pause and move on when we are comfortable, today’s tells us that we can hold on too long.

No matter how many times or people we tell out tales of woe too, it is just a rehash. It may serve to garner us some sympathy. It may strengthen our resolve convincing us that we are right and justified. But in the end it does not matter. It is a rehash. It happened and it is time to resolve it and let it go. Emotional baggage is emotional baggage whether we are right or not. Baggage that weighs us down and drains our energy.

It is time to let emotional baggage go.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.
