My thought for today is Denial. It is defined as a protective shield we put up to hide the truth so that we can go on drinking or drugging or gambling or continuing in whatever behavior we are involved with that keeps making our life unmanageable. To face the truth means confronting the consequences and the possibility of change. So, we lie about the reality of the situation. We do it so effortlessly that it becomes habit. A popular acronym of mine is that I Don't Even Notice I Am Lying. Sometimes, a crack appears in the wall of our denial and the sunlight of willingness can make the crack bigger and over time the denial slips away.
