[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 618599, member: 17542"] One of my friends, also in recovery from the disease of enabling, had some eye-opening words one day last week about living in the moment. He said: stop, take your own 'pulse' at any one given moment. You are okay. You are safe, your needs are met, you are warm, fed, doing something you love or with a loving friend. You see okay in this moment. String these moments together and you are looking at a life. It is when we live in the past or the future or are minding someone else's business----instead of our own---that we lose this feeling of well-being. Our lives are a full time job leaving no time for taking on the unnecessary part time jobs of trying to live, control and fix someone else's life. If we can accept that each of us have just one life to live, just one, and we mind THAT life and no other, we will be happier calmer people who feel and display peace most of the time. May we continue to work hard to let go of our deeply loved ones and allow them to live the life they choose. Even if... [/QUOTE]
