Whew! This growth/remembering business is challenging. It is one thing to read about something in a book or hear about it in discussion...it is entirely another matter to put it into practical use. Forgive me for being so vague, but this has to do with a number of personal growth issues of late i.e. emotional independence, dealing with the continuing effects of past situations, and encouraging expansiveness in my world view in general. I am so thankful that Don has the level of patience he so wonderfully demonstrates. Without it I'm afraid things would be difficult at best. Among other things, with the realization of how former behaviour simply isn't effective in certain areas of my life, there is now a sort of doldrum of the soul while I sort things out...doing my best to remain open to new things. In any event,*big sigh* I am grateful for the apparent forward motion as anything else would be simply unbearable at this point. And many thanks to those of you in here who continue to contribute to this process in ways you can only imagine, :-). Hugs and blessings to you.
