Thank you for the fresh perspective--what you say makes total sense. I completely understand why I have to let my fears go, and though I believe I am 90% there, that last 10% is a lot harder to drop than I thought it would be. I'm on it!
I like what you said about creating battles that don't exist outside our own minds...they're not worth the energy.
((Hugs)) to you Whapu--it's nice to have a big brother watching out for me.
