When I have an itch I can’t scratch, I say: “Hello itch. Thank you for making me aware of you. I can now see that you are a temporary thing. Therefore I choose not to invest any more energy or worry in you”.
I then take ten deep breaths focussing on my ‘in’ breath and gently releasing the itch on my ‘out’ breath. This normally works and is a technique that can be used on anger, fear, panic and other negative emotions. Worry has no value.
My temporary setback only serves to create a stronger platform from which to step forward. My mood is buoyant and I am as positive as ever. Thank you for your comments which mean a lot to me.
Lots of love,
Tom

From Monica,who doesn’t know you, on reading ‘Itch’
This is inspiration for most of us who can’t take a little pain. May the good Lord RESTORE WHAT HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY LOST.

STRENGTH

To the strong soul who learns to defy his or her own fears.
Life is a test insistent upon strength
Each person is challenged at analogous lengths
Yet the vie to subsist will exhaust the timorous some
For the Lord’s race is imputed to all…to run
This is to avow: you must believe
As you are special…allow no one to deceive
For what you have learned will make you stronger
If only to love and be loved one day longer
Others may look upon the Sun going down
A vanishing hope, the benighted frowns
But you must learn to see the resilience of the night
As a testament to each given day…to your unforgiving might
Thus revere your kin and formative youth
Whilst both bleed one’s vigor to nourish this truth:
Strength is innate and must be held deep inside
A rule in life’s book by which everyone should abide
So tonight when the Sun has given up and retired
Look upon the day and all that which you have inspired
For everything you wish for will someday come true
Your strength is there….your strength is YOU!
Love and light
Desire’
