"..in times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contimplate and the past to painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right niow.
The precise moment I was in, was always the only safe place for me.
Each moment, taken alone, was always bearable.
In the exact now, we are all, always all right.
Yesterday the marriage may have ended. Tomorrow the cat may die. The phone call from the lover, for all my waiting, may not ever come.
But just at the moment, just now, that's alright.
I am breathing in and out.
Realizing this, I began to notice that each moment was not without its beauty."
"The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron
I hope you find some encouragement in this paragraph. It was a Godsend to me at a rough place in my road.
I am always worrying about my kids too. Its been 13 years. :-/
