I know I have posted this before, though not sure exactly where, so please forgive me, friends, for repeating.
I once heard a speaker refer to the things we carry around with us: resentments, anger, grudges, slights real or imagined, as "a box of rocks, and one that you need to put down. You will feel better when you do."
I love the box of rocks analogy. I havemy own box of rocks. I feel so much better when I drop it. It is heavy.
