And I agree that "living the truth" is the best gift we can give ourselves, even though some days it's easier to live in denial than in truth.<BR/><BR/>Even though we may trick ourselves into thinking living a lie or being in denial isn't a big deal, our bodies know better. Like the headaches, eye twitches at the most inopportune times, neck stiffness and heart palpitations. Our bodies don't lie. <BR/><BR/>The fall is a time of new beginnings...so here's to LIVIN' THE TRUTH. And to finding a new boyfriend at the same time :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712894232925856589.post-57507444672048894302008-09-08T11:36:00.000-07:002008-09-08T11:36:00.000-07:00I just read an interesting (and timely to this blo...I just read an interesting (and timely to this blog) article titled "Deny Denial" in the August edition of National Geographic Adventure Magazine. In it they warn that denial can impair chances for survival in a crisis. They use the example of a lost hiker who presses on. In denial, he assumes that he'll regain the trail and as a result becomes increasingly lost. (Must be a man). The article advises us to recognize our tendency to see see things not as they are but how we wish them to be. In doing so, we can avoid becoming more lost (or embroiled in any crisis). So living the truth has very practical applications.SUSAN MATTHEWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16744632949336596255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3712894232925856589.post-85603762137240806032008-09-08T11:29:00.000-07:002008-09-08T11:29:00.000-07:00Canary, Thanks a bunch for visiting my blog.
