Nope. It's work. :)>

Now you sound like my therapist. :) I've always arranged my life to be as stable as possible, with as much support as possible. My therapist said once that he was amazed at how well I managed my life to fit in with what I could handle without blowing all my circuits, until recently (ok, that's a paraphrase. he doesn't talk like that.)>
> Dinah, I think you've got the hang of more than you think or perhaps give yourself credit for. When I said that I think of you as a spiritual person I was referring to your posts over on the faith board that show an incredible knowledge of different religions and texts. You have access to this information and maybe *I'm* just being hopeful but somehow I sense that some of that information has got to resonate somewhere inside of you and help in some tiny way. Maybe I'm naive. But dammit I hope that you have some sense of support from outside---and read that as higher power, neighbour, coworker, friend, etc.

Gifts differing, I suppose.> I don't think they could get much lower so I've completely lowered any expectations for myself and am doing quite well considering I don't ask more of myself than to arise each day, breathe in breathe out, stay alive and then at some point return to a state of drugged slumber. Jolly, eh?

Yeah, but sometimes that's enough, and hard enough to do.> Going off to work with the kidz today. It is rainy out so I am bringing over all my art goodies and a tarp to get all messy artsy on. These kidz are good for my broken soul. Nicest thing about em? I get to give em back! ;)

Awwwww. But they're pretty nice to keep, too.Dinah
