Help me Act AS IF, Part 7: The Separation

[girlfromipanema]

Strange that your girls are adjusting so easily when you've had such a happy home life previously...

I'm worried about you being "stuck." What can we do to get you moving forward? I know you're hanging with friends and already have a life, and I think it's great that you're daydreaming about dating. Maybe your posts sound more tortured than you really are because you only visit when you're feeling your lowest? I'm just worried about you, sweetie.

Here's a quote I received via email today. Hoping it helps a teeny tiny bit:

"You can be happy right here, not tomorrow, not in ten minutes, but now. You can be happy right now.

Byron Katie said that, and she is right. Happiness is allowing yourself to be okay with what is, rather than wishing for, and bemoaning, what is not.

Obviously, what is is what is supposed to be, or it would not be. The rest is just you, arguing with life.

Somewhere along the way you will have to learn to just Trust Life."

Take care, lmg. Know you are loved and cared for.
