Thank you sun. I am feeling lighter and more 'adult' this morning. A restless sleep but not complaining. I have been sleeping so well lately what's one bad night.

I appreciate you seeing strengths in me where I only see weakness. I will settle for somewhere in the middle. While laying in bed this morning looking out my window and listening to the birds chirping the sounds of spring a thought came to me. When things overwhelm me like events did yesterday it is as though I become this little girl who won't take her medicine. Even knowing it will make her feel better she just refuses. That is how I was yesterday. Knowing doesn't always translate into doing.

I thought some more too about what Lavie shared about waiting for the mind to be quieter, for the restlessness, discomfort and heavy emotions to settle before entering into a sit. It follows the same vein in a way.... like if you have a sore throat and you wait until you can swallow without it hurting before you take the syrup that will make it feel better. The syrup may still be a benefit but not nearly as beneficial as when the throat is inflamed and really needing relief.

Is a new day..... now I am echoing Jennifer Hudson (get it? Her weight watchers song.... lol) The twin to my statement yesterday..... 'tomorrow is another day' (last line spoken by Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind)

Thanks again Sun and Lavie for your patience with me and your kindness. I appreciate your support very very much.

I hope any stressers in your day are dispursed like the clouds by a gentle breeze.
Thanks for this!
