Thanks. You helped me a lot last summer, and your recent post helped as well. I have been doing well overall with detachment and focusing on my own personal growth, but this week several things coalesced to produce feelings of sadness and loss that I hadn't felt in a while. No catastrophes, but a few things that created a very emotional few days. I feel better today. Just some more ups and downs on this rollercoaster, I suppose, and I am sure there will be more.
IMP, I also want to thank you for a post in the summer in which you told someone that a beautiful moment for you came when you put down the relationship books and started reading just on personal growth to focus on being the best person you can be. I am glad I read all the relationship books I did read this summer, but for the past three months or so I've focused on Buddhism and other literature about how to live a full, happy life. It has felt great to do so. You are a wise man, and I thank you deeply for your insights.
How did your fantasy football teams end up? I was 2-5 at one point but thanks to Tony Romo I ran off a five game winning streak and made the playoffs, where I promptly lost in the first round as Romo started to tank at that point.
