All living

All living souls welcome whatsoever they are ready to cope with. George Santayana. So often,

a problem would be overwhelming if we had to solve it all at once. We can allow ourselves to dwell

on only small pieces of the problem at one time. Then when we come to terms with one part, another portion can be dealt with.

Whether we are facing the death of a loved one or having to cope with other personal

problems, our minds help us sort out the order in which we can best handle our pain.

Sometimes we insist on tackling all the problem and we think ourselves into kind of a numbness.

We're unable to act. At those times, perhaps we can remind ourselves of how our mind works best.

If we do, we can let go of the whole situation and instead take on only the small part

we're strong enough to handle. Today, I will let go of all I'm trying to cope with. I will

pick one or two small positive things I can do, then I will do that.

I really can relate to this reading.

Sometimes I just feel like as much healing as I've done,

I still sometimes feel like there's so much more.

And how the hell am I going to do this?

Like how the hell am I going to like quote unquote be happy or have

the life that I want? And it's like one step at a time, girl, can we just get through today? We don't

have to solve the world today. One bite at a time. I'll just briefly share about my Christmas.

I went over to my parents. I was supposed to, I just my mom around

like 1130 or so and told her that I was showering and it would be over. And I kind of like to

dilly dally and take my time. So like two hours later, I get a text from both of them at the same

time. And it was like, where are you?
