[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 629981, member: 17542"] Lucy, maybe through this awful journey, we can learn to accept more fully ALL people who do not think, look like and act like we do. Maybe that is a silver lining from all of this. I know that one of my character defects is judging other people. I don't want to be like that. Maybe this is a path to learning a new way to be. I just want peace, contentment, serenity. That is what I want. I want to live the next 30 years enjoying life, enjoying people, enjoying the simple things of life. I want to live and let live. I want to live in the moment. I want to be thankful. I want to keep it simple. I feel like I have once again moved forward somehow, someway. Like RE said to me last week, when I was crumbling, this is another passage on the journey. I believe she was right. I had to go backward to start to go forward again. I am continuing to work on radical acceptance. That is the pathway for me, next, I believe. Enjoy the weekend---I know you aren't celebrating the Fourth in England (lol! shades of history) but we're all about red, white and blue around here this weekend. We're doing the distinctively American things of going to the lake, cooking out hamburgers and hot dogs, and just relaxing this weekend. Warm hugs, Lucy, to you across the Pond! [/QUOTE]
