It's funny when I look back at "Nov 30th", -wow, what a long time it seems to have been!
Remember struggling to keep my head above water every day, it seemed.

-Also remember it (meditation) was a "good" thing, -am terrible for never meditating, actually accomplished it that night.

-"Thanks" for meditation, and thanks for reminder to do it, and thanks for reminding me that one-day-at-a-time leads to a lot of days. :)

Hey, two lights are better than one, Fin :)

I remember you telling me that you had a really good experience (and a good sleep, I think) after that Meg. God, seems like years ago!!

 

[Tinyflame]

You are so right, Dave- just needed reminder.
Yes, -think it knocked me out cold when nothing would, come to think of it!

Yes, we shall have to do it again, it's been a "year" :wink:

As I didn't set this up properly I am just coming on to let you folks out there know that this is what I am going to do tonight.

I have a big meeting tomorrow and it is important to me, and so because of this I know I wont be able to sleep well. So as nothing else to channel for and in the hope of being constructive I am going to do something I hope will bless everyone here, and that is think on you all.

So until I can get my ass in gear and sort this out properly and set dates and times...and get together with Dave and Meg, this is me doing this tonight.

Sorry for the slopiness of it.

Dear fin, -you have a kind heart.

I am with you in spirit and with you for your meeting tomorrow.

Dear Junebug, thankyou, and again I have been so blessed and just held warm and safe...I came back in after my "mindfull forum" time, and looked back into one of the mediation threads (Becvan's)...and re-found and was reminded of this:

Brief Instructions for Loving-Kindness Meditation
As a mother watches over her child,
Willing to risk her own life to protect her only child,
So with a boundless heart, should one cherish all living beings,
Suffusing the whole world with unobstructed loving-kindness.
Standing or walking, sitting or lying down,
During all one's waking hours
May one remain mindful of this heart, and this way of living
That is the best in the world.
-from the Metta Sutta
Sutta Nipata I.8

This has meant so very much to me tonight for so many diffferent reason's. I can't help but know something is happening.

Thankyou again to all here.

I hope in some good way tonight has turned a corner if you have and are in pain, I hope that you have been able to find some peace in all you are feeling and have experienced of the bad stuff.

And lets hear it for the touchy feely things, they have changed my night tonight. Even if I take mediatation out of the equation, but with it also...I feel some peace and can only hope you do or will do too -and soon!!. Thankyou for the kindness-always, that has been shown to me.



in loving friendship
