I am grateful that my world feels a whole lot less hostile than it felt before.
sometimes pockets of hostilities still pop up but basically it seems under some decent control now. I am so grateful.
what’s doing in your lives?

Can’t stay asleep.
Good to hear you’re finding peace.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve found that I feel less desperate than I used to. When I was young I felt like life was passing me by - like I was being denied some of the best things in existence. I don’t feel that nearly so much now. I am more content. I’ve mentioned this several times before, but in AA they talk about “judging your insides by other people’s outsides”. I used to look at people and it looked like they were so much happier than me. They looked like they were having fun, and I wasn’t. I got in this four year long relationship with a young woman. She talked constantly about things I wasn’t interested in. She irritated me. (She was probably too good for me, but that’s another story.) She drove me crazy. One time we were in a bookstore, and she was showing me pictures from a book called “The Joy of Sex”. I realized that if I had seen us from the outside I would have been so jealous. I would have thought I was crazy for not cherishing this young woman. But, as it was, she just irritated me. Then I realized that so much of my jealousy of other people was misplaced.

Having less pressure and stress is great for helping people heal and feel better.

I must say I am very lucky to be alive in this dangerous and treacherous cold war filled planet earth.
