“Allow me to share my current personal observations, as a way of stimulating
your own reflection… John Eldredge, Ransomed Heart Ministries, reflecting on the death of a good
friend and colleague, as posted on Facebook
Helpful: Generous amounts of sunshine. Gardens, the woods - everything living
and green. Long walks. Lonesome country roads. Swimming. Beauty. Music. Water.
Friendly dogs (I’ve never understood it when someone says to me, “Yeah - we’re
not really dog people.” That’s like saying, “Yeah - we’re not really joy
people”). Chocolate. Kindness. Compassion. Not expecting myself to produce the
same level of work I normally accomplish in a day. Yard work. Building a fence.
Unhelpful: Grocery stores. Malls. Television. Traffic. Draining people
wanting to talk to me (friends and family are at this moment wondering which
category they fall into. It’s quite simple - draining people are those who live
out of touch with their own soul, and thus mine). Airports. The news -
especially politics. Social media. Your typical dose of movie violence.
