Thanks, Gordie.

I guess the silver lining is I now recognize these things without taking it too personally. It is what it is and I have control over how I allow it to affect me.

I also have made great strides on being in the present. If I attend an event or even witness a beautiful cloud formation as I did this evening, I am better able to soak it in. For years I was too stressed or worried or just preoccupied with whatever was coming next to ever really stop and smell the roses.

Amazing what you can accomplish when you sense of self, comes under attack.
