When the wind is knocked out of you

This afternoon I finally mustered enough energy, after being quite sick, to clean out the storage area out back. To some extent it was not all physical strength which held me back. To a certain degree, the emotional courage and strength was just not previously present to deal with a whole lot of things. Sometimes I think we must just simply place some things in storage for a season before we have progressed enough in our healing and or courage to deal with stuff that represent deep pain or loss; triggers can be found in items as simple as a photo album,book or display piece or some other object that carries meaning for the handler.Often times it is misinterpreted or misunderstood as repression or denial when in reality it is neither; but rather a needful break with the CONSTANCY of the tragedy or loss; time to emotionally catch one's breath as when the air is knocked out of them. In time the regular ebb and flow of life will return and a healthy emotional balance will return in kind. But in a case of severe loss,tragedy,or intense pain sometime things are best left in storage for a while.
" There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace." Ecc 3:1-8
