Another layer of the onion

[Hopalong]

I'm really glad for you, GS...and I need inspiration again myself.
Slid a bit backwards lately. Overwelmed again and need to tackle my own square feet.

FYI, I have looked up Bryon Katie and this site is a place I often go when I read of similar teachers (just my position or take on them--though I did like reading The Four Agreements, and also like some of what Katie teaches):

Thanks for the link Hops.  Sounds sort of scary.  I suspect any self-help concept can turn cult like if you let it.
I'm not a joiner of new agey stuff but I find the 4 questions helpful especially the 4th.
What is behind the person who drafted it doesn't alter the benefit it has for me.

That's really helpful, GS. Thanks for that.

Reminds me I do think cafeteritarianism can be a great spiritual path.

Send me some focus, would you?

love,

It's early and I am already struggling.

It is not surprisingly difficult to shed a lifetime of anxiety.
I want to be on the other side.
It takes work, constant, vigilant work.
I will get there. The other side is worth the effort.

I would so like to tell someone on the phone what I am going through and have them understand and care.
I am so fortunate to have people here who get it.

plodding through.  The light is on the other side.
Today I drive a distance to my son's god-father's mother's funeral.  It will be my full day.  No chopping wood this morning.
