It is a lot of growth to know that you can have a nugget of depression, and not let it become the whole universe. It was a big eye opener to me that I can have many feelings at once and not get overwhelmed by them. I think that is serenity. I can feel sadness or anger, and still be ok in my gut. I can feel them, and not bottle them up, but not let them eat me up. It's amazing we can feel good and bad at the same time. WOW.
You have come a long way. It is good to hear success. Hugs, Magic
