Hi guys. That was interesting to write that out. Kind of confront myself in a rush of sentences. Two interesting things jumped out at me from your responses quietness and discipline. It was strongly suggested to me by my inpatient shrink that I try the Akido martial art. (he is an expert). This martial art is about accepting the opponent's force, rather than striking it head on. I would love to have the courage to leap into something like that. The meditation and discipline with physical energy expenditure. And the idea of not fighting "against" everything.
Also gardening. One of my loves. I've been working up a plan to try and become the landscaper of our condo association. Again, physical expenditure with gentle control of nature. I love to prune. not so much mowing, but I'll accept it as a mathematical challenge.
I'm remembering hope.
