Karen, Here is a bit of wisdom from the very wise Jeannine that she responded to me with a while ago on her thread (huh?). Anyway:
Quote: One other thing that came to mind in reference to your question is that back in the middle of the hurricane, my fear seemed to enlarge the fear he was grappling with, my hopelessness seemed to deepen his sense of hopelessness, my fiery emotions seemed to ignite his kerosene soaked emotions and so on. I think that he is prone to following my lead in some areas, so I have to be careful to set a good example - no matter how much I want to bonk him over the head at times.
and from Optimist:
Quote: The ride the crest thing reminded me of how to get out of a rip current (you Floridians must have heard of those ): rule #1 You do not fight against it, you follow it and let it take you out by itself. You do not fight waves, you'll just exhaust yourself and ultimately drown. You must use the energy in the upsurge to carry you where you want to be and let the downsurge pass through...
Take care of yourself, today (and everyday). Thinking of you.
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
