Stasis

Today I Am Grateful For ~

• My studyroom being about 80% painted.
• Being able to envision the beautiful haven that it will be.
• Love and support from friends.
• Opportunities to come face to face with my beliefs about myself.
• Possiblity thinking.
• Being patient with my seratonin/norepinephrine levels slowly returning to normal.
• Re-reading a favorite book of mine from early adolescence and realizing that I've been trying to teach myseslf to see people for who they really are and to look beyond the fear they exhibit (which often looks like anger, meanness, impatience and judgement) for a very long time. Here are a couple of lines from A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle: "If someone knows who he is, really knows, then he doesn't need to hate." "Love. That's what makes persons know who they are."
• Those and other spiritual truths in a chldren's book.
• Getting together with friends yesterday.
• A relaxing comfortable evening.
• Kari's generosity.
• My partnership with Richard and how we are working to support each other.
