My T is teaching me that life is lived in the "tension" between happy and sad, between despair and hope. That that is where the Truth is. It's not all happy and light all the time, and it's not supposed to be, and that's okay. That's not Real. It's learning to be comfortable with that gray area that is what brings us true peace. It's a bittersweet feeling.

There is an author I love - Anne Lamott - and she does such a great job of illustrating that we can feel like gum on the bottom of someone's shoe and love ourselves at the same time. That's the gray area for me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. It gives me something to think about, and strive for
