It sounds you are really doing a good job focusing on your next self lesson. This stuff is really hard though, isn't it? I don't know about you, but I know when I am learning something really tough about myself, I get this feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not always a pleasant feeling, but it's a cue that I'm <sigh> growing. It helps me keep it in perspective when I remind myself that I am a spiritual being having a human experience, rather than a human being having a spiritual experience. It helps me be more objective about the process, and it helps me move out of a victim mode into a learning mode.
Hang in there and have some fun. I'm extremely envious of the whole boating thing! What a great time!
