It looks like my contemplations of Western Chi and Qi have spun into resuming my Mandarin studies. How did I manage to let five years slide since my tutor got married and moved on? I promised her I would keep going. She even gave me an impressive list of tutors to take her place.
"In Life as in love
"I need to remember
"There's such a thing as trying too hard." ~Susana Clark (Come From the Heart)
Trying too hard might be the gnarliest side-effect of my "Over-compensating" habits. Again, I am not quite sure what I am reaching for here. . .
On the domestic front, relations with the middle aged sons and significant others remain complicated, but mostly peaceful. I think? Still dealing with the need to get them off our bill desk so that hubs can retire from work before his heart blows. Hubs is still processing the double 1st anniversary of his mother's death and his own near-death-experiences. I don't really believe any of this can benefit from my over-compensating reflexes. Not too much of it is mine to sort, but an awful lot of it is mine to live with. Ah, for the love of balance. . .
Sorting. . .
I am feeling vaguely confident with it all. Emphasis on, "Vaguely." I am letting it be vague. The more I learn, the more I wonder if knowledge is over-rated.

Wish I had more to offer, but I'm still cycling through "I have to fix it!" and "I suck for not fixing it!" and "It's not up to me to fix" in my own family saga, soooo..... Balance is a nice concept, but maybe it's overrated and the best we can do is not fall down? It's okay to wobble?
Much support as you sort, Arfie:-)
