I can’t unsee that!

While working in the back yard, a rolley-polley bug was accidentally squished.  My daughter, seeing the squished bug, blurted out “Ewe!  I can’t unsee that!”  Our children are often the voices of wisdom well beyond their years!  It is important to think about the potential long-lasting effects of things we expose ourselves to or information we ask for.  Once an experience or a piece of information is in our head, it is always there – for better or for worse.
What have I exposed myself to that has been unhelpful or unhealthy to me?  Am I currently taking responsibility for what I expose myself to?  What gifts await me if I start taking responsibility for what I bring into my head?
