The good, bad, and the ugly...

How do we grow and learn to dump the garbage if we don't first learn how to recognize the bad/sad/ugly/hurting parts of ourselves? And after recognizing all parts of ourselves ACCEPT those parts of ourselves. We have to accept, embrase, and rejoyce in the good as well as the bad and ugly parts. We can heal and grow until we do. The past is past, the future is tomorrow, live in the now - the rest will take care or itself.
