Some might say becoming higher functioning means realizing that different aspects of one's personality will never be all that integrated. Then you can learn navigate thru the world with a sense of comfort while different personality aspects wane and wax. Striving for ever increasing integration focuses on making yourself be a certain thing, rather than focusing on simply being.
I would like to believe that this is true and it does make sense. Just live through the seasons of yourself recognizing that fall will pass into winter and spring will come again and then Monkeygirl will be feeling the heat once more.-LOL I guess that learning to take care of yourself would be best summed up with the expression "There is no such thing as bad weather if you dress properly for it.". I guess I'll go buy a new apron, a pair of leather boots, a pretty spring frock and a string bikini.
