I like that quote, too.

I also agree that if I had quit DBing (my definition)earlier, my growth would have been stunted. Continuing to face myself and the "weather" has been beneficial in a profound way.

The best gifts: gaining the understanding that I'm in charge of my emotions, learning not to take things personally and that worry solves nothing. Letting go is pretty cool also.

I've also learned that meditation and yoga really can make a difference.

All in all, it's been a bumpy ride but my kids got a better mother, my friends got a better friend, my employer got a better employee, not a bad trade-off.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
