ok, so a couple of weeks ago i had a rather strange encounter with someone who thought they could read the very details of your life from a glance at your palms. and who am i to say they couldn't? but he said some things that bothered me for days after. i mean, one thing (of the many spoutations and declarations) he told me was that i am carrying baggage! baggage? BAGGAGE! i mean come on...please someone find me a single soul on this planet who is NOT carrying baggage. i think you would be hard pushed to find such a person because from the minute we are born, no, conceived in the womb, we are already carrying baggage. we are carrying the baggage of all those who have gone before us, our parents, grand-parents, great-grand-parents and so on down the bloodline back to the very beginnings of who we are. whether we realise it or not we are carrying that baggage. we are all constantly making up for the sins of our forefathers in some way or other. it sounds absolutely suffocating when you look at it like that...but let's face it, it's the truth. no one is born free from who they are and where they have come from. no matter how hard we try to run away from it. at some point it will always catch up with us...so when you meet a stranger and he proceeds to tell you (as he tries to read your palm) that you're carrying 'baggage'...think about it...

Oh yes, we all have baggage. That doesn't mean we have to carry it ~ right?! We have a choice to store it as a "keepsake" or dump it, like garbage. Baggage is the past. What we carry today should be a small pack filled with hopes, dreams and adventures to welcome. Bringing the past to the present wastes the possibilities of a new present. It's so much more fulfilling to feel grateful for every moment of every day we have. Some days are easier than others.. I know! This is a good blog today ~ thank you for making my day!
jeni- this is so very very true what you have written and so very very uplifting...thank YOU for making MY day!
