    Amen to that brother! It is interesting how we invite misery upon ourselves with our acting out. I don't understand it. But I don't have to understand it to stop doing it. :)

    Agreed with you both. You dont necesarily deserve ritches, fame, greed, etc. but this doenst mean we deserve misery. Heavy stuff. I like to say. "Its not about waiting for the storm to pass..its about learning to dance in the rain"

    Key point! I need to stop trying to analyze and understand and simply stop doing it. Have you considered writing, Graybeard? You are very good at it.

    Yep, storms are a part of life.

    Appreciate you guys.

    Feeling great and am so thankful. To quote brother Graybeard's journal, I am feeling a bit of energy but determined to get through it clean.

    Great to hear, WRAT :) That thankful piece is so important. It's pretty hard to get wrapped up in our shit when we're appreciating where we are. Keep up the very good work!

    Yeah, you're doing great, WRAT! If we can channel the energy in a positive way, we can live our lives without feeling like we constantly have to slay the beast. He won't be very beastly if we carry on without giving him the attention he craves.

    Maybe at times like this, it's all about channeling that energy. We're all good at channeling it towards that other thing, so you'd think we'd be able to move it in a positive direction. You'd think!
