Let Resentments Go

December 22nd, 2007

The purpose of relinquishing resentments is to increase your positive energy…Away from the person, air your resentments.

Looking for validation, I aired my resentments on the forums. After a time, I was able to see past the resentment. The person I let have power over me is actually pathetic. How does she command so much presence?

She texted me on my cell several times. I answered. She sent email; I answered. I knew something was building. The phone rang; I didn’t answer. Much later I checked messages and she had asked me to come to the phone.

We were planning a get together with our mother. I guessed that my sister wanted me to invite her to spend the night at my house. But I was protecting my energy. She’s an energy vampire. The last two times she stayed with me, she practically required hospitalization, but when I suggested a trip to emergency, she freaked.

But I digress. I guess.

But then, in a quiet moment, really reach to find compassion for the person’s shortcomings, not the deed itself.

I was getting there. But then I decided to blog. Then I couldn’t connect to the Internet. After much frustration, I could. Then the cats came in and started clawing at my chair. I kept shooing them away. Finally, I shut them out of the library.

So I’m trying to find all this compassion, but all I’m feeling is all this frustration and new resentment at computers and connections and cats!
