Good Morning, SH. I'm taking a procrastination break from my fhouse-cleaning (which is, itself, me stalling on my financial paperwork nightmare!!!) to check in on you and wish you a good day.

I think that we all need to stop wondering if what we are feeling is good, bad, indifferent, normal, pathologic, or _________. (Fill in the blank)

It is what it is. We are where we're at, and we're all just struggling to make sense of where our life is headed. Looking backward and wondering how we got here just keeps dragging us back under the water. I have a friend that is struggling with this mightily right now. I wish I could help him see this, but I think that the realization that the present moment matters more than either the past or the future is one that must be arrived at on one's own. Meanwhile I just try to be a gentle reminder that the past is immutable.
