Shielders typically continue to change in ways that amaze them for years! I recently did something that amazed even me! I removed a Twinkie® from a single pack and twisted half of it off with my hands, to enjoy with some coffee. But I couldn’t find a clean spot on the counter to set my precious half Twinkie on, because we were doing a repair job. So I held it between my teeth as I rummaged in the cupboard for a clean tiny plate, which I set it on. Then I put the other half back in the wrapper and twisted the end to keep it fresh for when I might want it later. It was only while I was enjoying my half Twinkie® with the coffee that I realized what I had done and how utterly impossible that would have been for me before: HOLDING HALF OF A TWINKIE® HALF WAY IN MY MOUTH WITHOUT EATING IT, while searching for a plate! Not to mention putting the other half back in the wrapper without eating it, too. That’s the control that the mind can give when it’s Shielded!
