[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 722329, member: 21895"] My dear Leafy I am staying still and quiet with my thoughts today. It is something I struggle with of late. To meditate and seek calm in the midst of chaos. Iately if I sit with my thoughts I become full of anxiety and fear. I am retraining myself to be present and calm. The dogs really help. Man can they do this well! Victor is one of my heros. I keep very few books that I read, but his I kept. The fact that he, starving and so frail, came to the conclusion that the Nazis could not take from him who he was. And the tremendous power that gave him to survive! I pulled upon this in times of financial crisis and indeed in times with my AC. Especially when I wanted to strike out in anger against those who label and judge me or my child. I resign myself to the simple fact that their opinion of me is none of my business. I learn to react in the spirit of who I truly am and this is my power. Not perfect and I do lose my mind now and again, as we all do. Improvement and survival not perfection. Copa a wise introduction you have made here. My tool box is much heavier and my heart is far lighter since I have come to journey this path with you all. I so wish I could speak the beautiful language of Hawaii. It sounds like music to me. I was fortunate enough to be in Hawaii for 4 days once many years ago. Only in and around Honolulu. We will go back some day, somehow. Google translate is a lovely friend. I have no affinity for language I studied French for years and speak it very poorly. I am dyslexic and languages don't like to stick. I admire this quality in my husband, he can speak several languages. Peace calm and breathing are the order of my morning. Being in the now. This afternoon is a whole other ballgame, that game has not started yet. Your children have been consumed by the hungry ghosts of addiction and pain. I used to get angry at Gabor Mattes definition of addiction and it's cause. I would arrogantly think how could my child be in so much pain as to become an addict! I was a good mother! I now realize his pain is not about me or what I did; his pain is his and his addiction is his. I understand that now. I still feel that addiction is a MH disorder and a brain disease, so some of what Gabor says I agree with. Some I do not. I take what I need and leave the rest.
