Voices

ARRRGGHH! As I was sulking in the car today feeling sorry for myself because no one takes me seriously and no one makes me feel intelligent and needed anymore, my angel said softly, "Uhhhh 'scuse me sweetie, WHAT is YOUR problem????" Suddenly, I am just plain old embarrassed - seriously how many times a day do I think I am in "charge" and of WHAT, just exactly????
Ahhh - reality checks - grateful for the times that I DO listen to that little angel voice in my head telling me to straighten up and quite behaving like a 2 year old wanting a cookie.
As much as I believe that the Lord is my guide, I certainly want to cut off the trail and lead myself waaaay too often. Beyond that, Eleanor Roosevelt said it best, of course. "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission."
Crabby, cranky pity party - Sometimes I fall so easily into those, but thankfully, someone comments, or that still small voice picks up the velvet hammar and has a go at me.
It is all about the voices in our heads. What do we listen to? It ain't easy, but we can choose which voice gets our attention.
