I didn't write this...just think it's a deep truth... "It is not humility to insist on being someone that you are not. It is as much as saying that you know better than God who you are and who you ought to be. How do you expect to arrive at the end of your own journey if you take the road to another man's city? How do you expect to reach your own perfection by leading somebody else's life? His sanctity will never be yours; you must have the humility to work out your own salvation in a darkness where you are absolutely alone... "And so it takes heroic humility to be yourself and to be nobody but the man, or the artist, that God intended you to be. You will be made to feel that your honesty is only pride. This is a serious temptation because you can never be sure whether you are being true to your true self or only building up a defense for the false personality that is the creature of your own appetite for esteem. But the greatest humility can be learned from the anguish of keeping your balance in such a position: of continuing to be yourself without getting tough about it and asserting your false self against the false selves of other people." From "New Seeds of Contemplation, " New Directions Publishing Co. 1961, pp. 100-101 ********A JOURNEY**********

Thank you. Yes, living in the present is something I have to continually practice and focus on. I get sidetracked so easily. It takes work to recover! smiles. I guess if it were that easy I wouldn't have been so screwed up for 20 yrs right? Thanks for saying I deserve it. I struggle with feeling worthy. It's like I run away from happiness, love, good relationships. I guess it seems easier to stay down than to get up and fall or lose it. There really is nothing to be afraid of if I stay in the present. All my fears stem from the past or from worrying tomorrow will be like the past but today really isn't that bad if I'd stay in it you know? I'm trying hard lately to take care of my health better, exercise, quit smoking, eat healthy et. I would feel so much better and less crazy and destructive. For some reason I tend to sabotage it when I feel better like afraid to feel good so gotta smoke a bunch to feel like shit again. It's weird. what, then maybe I'd have to live or something. I'd have no excuse to not do anything? I hope you're staying warm where you are. hugs

Thank you. How are you? You're married now I see. congrats and God bless. Yea I struggle. I think I need to cut it out and just surrender. Trust God and love people. I think I"m gonna get it together. It's taking me a long itme but I am making progress. I was so incredibly messed up. I get off focus. So self destructive. My focus has to stay on God and I know I'll be taken care of. It's hard for me to let go and trust. To just relax, take care of myself, be hopeful and positive. I've been coming on here more lately, to read and talk more, it's helpful. Winters comin here in Wi. Where was the fall I'm wondering? gonna go make some tea with honey and cinnamon. hugs
