Also admirable.<br /><br />The birthday thing, well, that's reason to CELEBRATE!

They are bliss! <br /><br />And, too (another non-Buddhist moment) I think stewing serves a purpose, don't know exactly how to explain it except with a cooking metaphor - everything can not be broiled or stir fried, some dishes need to simmer and stew.<br /><br />Certain dishes, like you and I, Bee - we need to slow cook at times.

Some days I seem to cope with it all fine, and even see the advantages of the situation, but other days I just can't shake off my irritability.<br /><br />I was interested in your thought about knowing how to "cure" yourself but not really wanting to. Sometimes we just like to stew, don't we? Do you get unnerved if you are TOO calm for too long?Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-90609646569470629742011-02-09T09:57:04.142-05:002011-02-09T09:57:04.142-05:00Ellen - these are words of sanity and wisdom.
