Apparently I am a slow learner. For several weeks I have been referring to a situation as a pain in the ass. I like a drama free zone, and it has been anything but around here lately. One of those times, whether on the home front or at work we all want to look back on—not be in the middle of.
I know better. I write about, talk about it, and truly do get the power of our words. And here I have been week after exasperating week going on and on about what a pain in the ass this situation is.
Blame it on lack of sleep, blame it on a moment of weakness, blame it on oops I did it again, but you know how this story ends… guess who has a pain in the ass?
That’s right boys and girls I am now writing about the literal pain in my ass — the flare up of my sciatic nerve.
Who feels like a horses ass now?
Lesson learned. Note taken. A painful reminder that our words have power. Change of plans, from here to forth I shall be saying, wow I am so lucky to be learning so much from this exciting process. I am sure it’s all working out exactly as it is meant to be.
Giddy Up!

Amazing how we do that, isn’t it, Lisa?
Be well.
Just don’t say anything about a pain in the neck or you will be hurting at both ends!
I won’t go into preaching mode, but it is Biblical…Proverbs 21:23 says
23 Watch your words and hold your tongue; you’ll save yourself a lot of grief.MSG
Anyway, I agree 100% and truly believe we have so much more power over our circumstances than we believe, but it starts with your mouth and what you are saying.
Great post! I love your stuff.
