A few quotes that help me in difficult times:

"It is important to expect nothing, to take every experience, including the negative ones, as merely steps on the path, and to proceed." -- Ram Dass

"Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be. Let your body relax and your heart soften. Open to whatever you experience without fighting." -- Jack Kornfield

"Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath. Every moment is the guru." -- Joko Beck
I needed this....so very much.

Way too much stress and exhaustion.

Thank you dearest vana.

And thank you everyone....I feel you holding my hand.

Sure you can't just throw everything in a box or a dumpster and hop an early flight?!

I spoke with my sisters today for the first time in 6 months.
I had been feeling such heartbreak over our broken relationship, but after today I no longer feel that way.

My older sister was wonderful earlier in the day, but now I can hear the whiskey she has been drinking in her change of tone.

My younger sister is too busy with her own selfish concerns to really care what I am doing.

Neither of them offered to help me in any way, or are going out of their way to see me before I go. None of my nephews even care enough to call and congratulate me. Who are these people?
My parents would be devastated to see how two of their three daughters are living their lives now that they are gone.

I know they would be proud of me though, and just so incredibly happy for me.

My true family is here, and with Nick.

I am more aware than ever that I am incredibly blessed. ♥

We can't pick our family, but we do get to choose our friends. We're here for you, Suze!

I'm really sorry that your sisters reappeared in your life just to dash your hopes again, Suze.
