NEUTRAL has it's purpose

A little while ago I had a conversation with a superhero friend about the metaphoric role of Neutral in life. At the time of this conversation, I was down and I couldn't fully grasp the metaphor... but time has passed and I didn't let go of the pearl of wisdom that he shared with me. I am realizing more and more that NEUTRAL truly has it's purpose.

These are some of the purpose of NEUTRAL on your car (I got this online, and only posting for metaphoric purposes... consult someone who knows the automotive details about NEUTRAL on your car for driving purposes... cuz that ain't me... lol)

• Neutral is not a gear.
• This can be used for example if your car stalls while moving, you can shift to neutral, restart the engine and then shift back to drive.
• it disconnects the engine from the transmission, this allows the vehicle to "freewheel", works great also if your car is parked in a garage for example and you want to roll it frontward or backward a foot or 2 for example, rather than starting the vehicle and wasting gas you can place the transmission in neutral and push the vehicle.
• Neutral is also used as a space between Reverse and Drive, that keeps you from accidentally shifting into reverse from drive without pressing on the button on the gearshift first.

These are some of the purposes of NEUTRAL in my life, these days...

• I just need to "disconnect the engine from the transmission" for some matters- I feel like some things have stalled in my life and I just need to shift to neutral, restart my engine... and then I am ready to move forward. This is not a permanent state, just a necessary position to help me restart for these particular matters.
• "Freewheeling" for some other matters- I am just "freewheeling" for a short distance before I switch into gear... "reverse" or "drive" which one, I am not sure? Sometimes its as clear at it seems which gear I should be in for some matters. God's whisper is saying I need to be still in neutral and I may need to go in reverse in order to get back on track... and that's okay for some matters. But for now I am just "freewheeling" until its time to move in either direction.
  
• Neutral is also there for me as my protection from accidentally shifting into "reverse" from drive in a few other matters- As much as I don't like going "backwards" sometimes I do it because its familiar and/or as a distraction... those are the times when "reverse" is not the best gear. When I slip back I can always go back into N and then into "drive"...
  

Some reminders of people, things, places I am grateful for:

• sharing some time with my sistafriends... to vent, remember "I ain't the only one going thru", be encouraged, be reminded of our fantabulousness, and most of all... just be for a little while...
• my Daddy's Hugs. Sometimes I drive an hour to see him... just for a hug, and to be Daddy's Little Girl for a moment... NEUTRAL at it's best! I don't like for my Daddy to worry about me, so I sometimes don't share the details of things with him, but we've gotten to a place where its not needed... all I have to say is I just need a hug, and he knows I just need that moment to JUST BE... in a space that is so safe... my Daddy's arms!
  
• traveling down memory lane looking at my sons' photo albums... there were good times, and the reminder of how far I've come... I just can't give up now. I've come too far from where I started from... (when I get my scanner to work I will have to scan some of them)
• walks in the park... they're FREE and a great way to remember The Flowers and connect with spirit.

• A few days out of town with some of my superhero colleagues. I have been counting down the days for the last month, and now I can count down the hours... less than 48 hours!

Well I have some things I need to finish up before I leave for my trip...

Blessed and in Neutral,
WonderWoman
