Divested of a Crutch

Nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch. ~ James Baldwin

Wow. I don't need to add anything. I just need to come visit this and remember it every five minutes. What crutches do I rely upon?

• Food.
• Anger.
• Resentment.
• Procrastination.
• Gossip.
• Passive Agressive Getting Even.
• Stupid Computer Games.
• Taking His Inventory.
• Okay, Taking Her Inventory.
• Not My Job - Somebody Will Do It.
• Excuses - But I'm Busy! But I'm Special! But I Didn't MEAN To.

God, make me willing to let go of my crutches, today, right now, every time I can. And make the "can" come more often. Amen, so be it.
