Wow, your post is amazing Buffalo. I was actually a lifeguard, in my younger years and can completely relate to that example. You do your best, but when you are going under, you need to push the person away in any way possible, to save yourself. That may also be the only way to save the other person as well. It's funny you used the oxygen mask example as well, we were just talking about that at work the other day. Simple and very clear.

The Williamson quote is amazing. I will forward that along to my phone so I can read it regularly and allow it to fully sink in. What I truly need to do now is re-read all of these posts a few times over and refer back to them when I'm feeling shaking, angry or unable to hold my ground. It's hard but this has been the year for me to re-do me and I'm hoping this will be one of the biggies that I can accomplish. Thank you so much.
