Who Says New Teeth Don't Make You Feel Good?

Who Says New Teeth Don’t Make You Feel Good?

I just got back from the dentist and I got my new front tooth. It looks friggin’ amazing. Dr. Grissam did some cosmetic dentistry to the rest of my front teeth—shaved down a little here, smoothed a little there. It’s like I’m a new man! (The last time I had this done, the guy whittled down the corncob just a little too much and I had this bad taste in my mouth for a year. But I digress.)

I got my taxes done and have an appointment for Thursday with my tax man. The last of my car problems was taken care of and paid for mostly in cash yesterday. I washed my car on the way home from the dentist this morning. Madame Beamer looks beautiful and almost new. The plumbing in my house is almost all replaced. Honestly, I feel like a new person.

The greatest thing about all of it is, I didn’t have to go into debt for any of it! So, my smile is even better and bigger than normal.

I have been working on one thing now that has been making my life even more special and more peaceful than it ever has been feeling before. That is the ninth step of the 12-step AA program. “Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.”

I’m not in any 12-step program. But I do believe strongly in the principles. So, I have recently gone back into my life and thought about anybody that I have had deep unforgiveness for or had been holding something hidden from in my recent past. As a result, I have let go of a couple very big loads that have been sitting in my heart for a long time. Each time I have made amends, the message was clear in my heart that it was for both of our good to let go and allow for the deepest possible healing to occur. As a result, I shared the deepest secrets of my soul and had the greatest healings as well. Today I feel about 50 pounds lighter.

I kept wondering what the spiritual message of January was about. I believe there is a metaphor with most of what is happening in our lives if we are listening. After much contemplation, I felt that what was happening with all the major expenses and break downs of the framework of my life was a build up of psychic energy that needed to be released by working on many different facets of my spiritual life—prosperity, forgiveness, anxiousness, trust, and the ability to keep my heart open, despite the human belief that there is hurt waiting for us around every bend.

This kind of idealism takes diligence and a daily walk down a courageous road toward unveiling all the paths toward truth that you have been avoiding your entire life. Not many people have the fortitude to sit still long enough for God to reveal the path that leads to the most profound truths for their lives. I hope that I can be patient long enough for that truth.

I know one of my biggest pratfalls is wanting to jump into intimate relationship to ease the sting of walking steadfastly with God. It is no easy chore to stand alone as you hear from God daily about where and when to go. Sometimes it’s a lonely walk. Sometimes it’s a scary walk. But most times, God gives you the people, friends, sustenance and truth to undergo all that you need. I’m praying for that in my life and in yours as we all start this February with the thought of spring rising within us. I already have daffodils budding in my front yard.
