    Here is a quote i would like to share - nothing new yet a good reminder.

    " Pain causes us to contemplate: to change direction. It prompts us to look at things differently. With emotional pain as with physical pain, if we keep doing something stupid, we keep getting hurt. We might say " Well it shouldn't hurt, I don't want it to hurt," but it will STILL hurt. Some people manage to hurt over something 24 hrs a day, 365 days a year. They never realise it is time to take their hand off the stove." Andrew Mathews

    For me - the "stove" was being a witness and yet never being "Good enough".

    Hi,
    Excellent quote!

    Remember to not only get your hand off the stove but that it needs healing too.

    Each of these parts of us can be hurt in life and we need the corresponding healing-spirit (spiritual), soul (emotional) and body (physical).

    All the best,
    Stephen
