But, J ... You are aware of this habit of your mind ... which means you are thinking about your feelings. And your higher, wiser self is aware that thinking this way is not based on reality, is not the way life goes. So, then, thinking this way - all black, all white - is a habit. And you, J, have broken habits before, harder ones to break, so I bet you could start training your mind to think a little differently here, too ... that life is neither all-black nor al-white, that its is in between, that it all comes as waves, up and down over and over and over again.


But you're thinking about them right now ... so this statement just sin't true. You do have the ability to think about your feelings, J. You were indeed doing just that as you typed this ...

Present moment, J, present moment. Tune in to the simplest sensations in that body, take one breath and watch it. One moment at a time ... that's all life ever really is anyway, right? Neither good nor bad, just this.

If I could have hugged you today, I would have.
