Smita...........thank you for the reminder. I needed that. It's as if instead of merely experiencing the suffering and 'enjoying' the pity party, simultaneously one can observe oneself outside of her/his self. Doing this puts things into a different perspective and for me, will also connect me to others that suffer without feeling too self-centered about it all. Robert Frost said, "the best way out is always through" and I've taken that to heart so I don't need to find escape by drowning my sorrows in booze/drugs. And speaking of Anais Nin.......I've had this quote of hers attached to all my emails for years: "We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." Thanks for your words this morning.
