I think this is where I belong

:-) Grace, I think you're onto something. We don't really rise above much, at least not for long. We survive somehow. Right now, I feel I'm just surviving. Walking (which is a form on meditation, no?) is a fantastic activity to help in those down moments. I'm glad the weather is improving here. I will endevour to do more walking. My dog will like that too.

What to do with those feelings of anger and betrayal and resentment? How to rise above those? I guess we make progress over time. That anger has to go somewhere eventually though. Into a pillow works.

Hang in there. I hope you have a strong, good day. I think a good day is one in which we detach a little, don't feel the pain and anxiety every minute, and even have a few laughs or smiles. Good days are coming more easily these days, but not as easy as we'd like I'm sure.
