I got back to meditation today. It was making me feel so good, i can't just give up. It was helping me eat better ('trust in my inner wisdom and goodness' and 'accept the situation as it is in order to have the inner conviction to take action to change'). It was helping me work around my home better (cleaned out one of four junk drawers stuffed so full they can't close). I can't just give up!

@Mountaindewed: Cotton-candy lip balm sounds marvy!

@MarcusAurelius: So happy you got your car fixed and that it went smoothly. I hope you find a way to maintain your independence as the situation with your mom sounds grim. I'm cheering you on!

@bpcyclist: Sorry you had a rage-y run. Mindfulness reminds us of the impermanence of things. This will pass. @fern46 gave you some great support.

Hugs to all who struggle!
