Pack, I have to congratulate you. You seem to be doing what so many of us advocate, and that so many LBSs struggle with: focusing on you.
As a former control freak myself, I can tell you that letting go of control is such a better place to be in. I am much more relaxed an laid back than I was before. IC had a big part to play in that. This is why I am such and advocate of IC (I was staunchly anti-IC before my sitch!) because it paid such big dividends for me in becoming aware that 99.9% of things ae out of my control. And walking around angry about what I cannot control was a miserable place to live.
SO keep up the good work! No matter what happens Pack, you are going to be better for it and live your best life from this point forward!
