[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 632255, member: 14865"] Hi COM & Recovering, it is I, Tryagain. I have been absent for a while for various reasons, but I always return because of the strength I draw from my friends here. I loved the meditation above, COM. Thank you for sharing. I needed it tonight in my quest for calmness and serenity in the midst of difficult child's crazy-making antics. I won't go into detail, but she continues to do "just well enough" that I will foolishly become too hopeful & forget to keep my expectations low. Those cruel glimmers of how life could be for her are elusive and pop like soap bubbles. Those visions of a happier life for her tantalize and torture simultaneously. She does just enough that I don't give up, but poorly enough that I cry in frustration. This must be what purgatory is. So reading about just being, just striving to be present in the moment, is a wonderful centering exercise. I feel my blood pressure dropping as I write. Pleasant dreams to you both. [/QUOTE]
