Prefabsprout, I think you are a center of enthusiasm and joy about ready to burst out of its cocoon. I really respect you for opening up in this forum.

That is a lovely thing to say. Thank you.

The Dalai Lama says money does not make you happy. If you are at the end of life with lots of money, so what it will be all gone soon.

I agree. I'm a very non-materialistic person and money doesn't interest me. I think what I'm struggling with at the moment is my lack of status compared to others around me who have good careers. Maybe it's my ego. I got another job rejection last week and think this may have triggered these feelings of unworthiness.

If you are nearing the end of life, or even in the middle of it, and you can remember the people you helped then going to sleep is a lot easier.

That's very interesting, my husband has said much the same, about how many people I have helped through my volunteering. I tend to do it and not think of it.

When thoughts are crowding in on me I do this simple breathing exercise with natural breathing.
Internally count 1 and be aware of the inhale, count 2 as I exhale, 3 as I inhale, 4 as I exhale continuing in this way up to 10. Then start over again at one.

Thank you, I will try that.
