Hatred comes from unresolved anger, I believe, and that has a wonderful flip side to it. Resolving the anger is something we can do. Share your feelings with the one with whom you are angry. Work through it with a confidante who exemplifies empathy and understanding who can help you process why you are holding on to the corrosive matter. Talk with a therapist who can help you take some steps toward making peace. Write a letter expressing your anger and choose to send it or not. Create your own 12-step plan to live without negative energy. Be positive and accept that not everyone is as capable as you in working through their problems so they strike out.

Please join me in making a commitment to do the same…I believe we all depend upon it!

Since there is no way to slow down the passage of days, weeks and months, my wish is for everyone looking back to see our health struggles lessening, and our road to well-being looking brighter and easier to traverse! Give Thanks for what we have, and help others to do the same.
