I hope Sherman feels better soon Lavie. It is distressing when our beloved pets are unwell. My heart goes out to you. How did the doll workshop go? Sometimes distractions are helpful. Thanks for the book recommendation.

I am sorry to hear you are still feeling down. Nice to hear your sits in the sun are therapeutic as you travel through this time. I hope you connect with naturopath. Be curious to hear your experience with naturopathy. Always open to listening Sun. Goodness knows I have done my share of it.

My meditations again today have mostly been about maintaining a calm before a doctor appointment. I have a lot on the agenda to go over with him in a very short time. I have my list so I hope that will help.

I have much on my mind now that I have initiated applications for disability assistance. Again. Pulled out last year when the processed overwhelmed me by its intrusiveness. I am starting to feel the panic of intrusion again. Meditation is helping to keep the panic at bay. Returning to the anchor of my breath is how I am keeping from retreating these day. Not entertaining any of the parinoid thoughts. Or at least doing my best to acknowledge will being careful not to be drawn in.

Time now to get physcially ready. Staying mindful will keep me okay mentally and emotionally. That is the goal... the hope anyways. May I not meltdown!!
