who took the cookie from the cookie jar?

I did.

I am feeling a bit sad today and the word "remiss" is hoovering over to the right with something it wants to say.  First though I will start here:

I have noticed a new batch of cookies tempting me to stick my hand into the jar and take one, consume it's promised delight.  I admit I have taken a few, took sample bites and now returning them.,

I duck into a situation, imagining I can belong, try to belong and then sooner or later see, oh Jill you are not a duck, it is ok to leave.  No judgment, judge,  This is part of my creative process.

The belonging is a clue, the longing to belong is not a bad thing, it is knowing how to be with it  Maybe to own that I belong, we belong -  already - and we do not have to do, or be anything for that.

But the cookie jar can be alluring....

I am sad because it seems like there is not much real sincere connection with people, but some cookie (they are selling) shoved between.  Here, you can't be __________, ________, or _______ with out this.  I leave feeling invalidated.  Maybe I do need that cookie...

I can stretch though and see that they are more then the cookie they are offering.

Remiss! Remiss is jumping up and down to say something  I look er up...

Remiss means
lacking care or attention to duty; negligent."it would be very remiss of me not to pass on that information"synonyms:negligent, neglectful, irresponsible, careless, thoughtless, heedless, lax, slack, slipshod, lackadaisical, derelict;

So the people who are selling their thing, that is their thing.

My thing is to decide whether I want to engage, be neutral or disengage, and not have any of it be right or wrong.  It would be remiss of me to abandon myself, undisciplined and irresponsible to not take my own counsel or get feedback of discernment and choose a response of unconditional love for my feelings and permission for them to be with where ever they are at.

And with that said, I recommend the Gluten-free Almond Flour cookbook by ELana Amsterdam - simple, protein and low glycemic. - The Chewy Chocolate cookies are very good.

What are your thoughts?
  I would love to hear!
