The emotional wasteland

The Fairy Blogmother just watched an interview with Susan St. James as conducted by Tim Russert.
Ms. St. James was speaking about the recent loss of her 14 year old son and the injury of her other son and husband in a Denver airplane crash.

The woman is amazing. She knows one of the secrets of a happy and healthy life and lives one. When asked if she felt anger over the recent events to befall her family she shared with the audience a quote she always used with her family:

" Harboring resentment is like taking poison and hoping the other guy dies."

All would be wise to heed her advice. And to remind yourselves that along with resentment, guilt and worry are other habits that sap your energy and self-worth.

Focus on the little gifts that life delivers each day, savor them and spread the joy you get to others. That is success.
