Wouldn’t it be great if each of our lives came equipped with a truck with a giant suction hose to suck up the garbage that collects around us and ship it out of town? Resentments—slurp! Fretting over things we can’t change—slurp! Petty frustrations—slurp! And off they would go, leaving clean streets for us to drive down.
What would you like this spiritual garbage truck to vacuum up and take away from your life?

Regrets over missed opportunities from a long time ago.
Bitterness.
