Absolutely Kemper. No pressure. No worry. That's cool.
You're sounding good, my friend. The conversation on cognitive dissonance, cognitive distortion on C-Bart's w/him, you, Dia, Coach, et al, was very interesting. I'll have to do some reading up on it.
Change your thoughts;change your emotions is a concept I'm not unfamiliar with (just never knew it had such polysyllabic formal names). This is what The Four Agreements has done for me (thanks, again, Gypsy). With making just two of the four agreements with myself (Don't Take Anything Personally and Don't Make Assumptions), my thought processes on many things have been simplified or eliminated and the resulting needless emotional wear and drain is short-circuited - eliminated. Liberating simplicity.
I suggest you pick it up. Easy, light, yet powerful read.
Well, I've been gone just two days and have spent the better part of 2 hrs. + catching up on my support system. A few more to go, perhaps a few thoughts on my own thread and off to bed. Talk to you tomorrow.
