dead cats

I was listening to a podcast the other day.  The author was talking about how we get stuck in the past.  How the hurts of yesterday keep coming back to haunt us.  He talked about how we sometimes like to dwell on the past hurts.  Unfortunately, we can choose to let them define us.

He called this practice, "petting our dead cats."  It's like we go into the back yard and dig up the old carcass of the cat and hold it and pet it.  Doesn't that sound morbid and gross?

Yes it does.

Then why do we continue to do it?  Maybe it is time to stop petting the dead cat.

Let it go.  Live on.  Today is a new day.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
