what if we simply took whatever pain we couldn’t get rid of, and turned it into something else*
Susan Cain

With … choice comes a remarkable sort of freedom. The freedom to be still, to become aware and to stop hiding from the living that’s yet to be done.**
Seth Godin

Because our lives are stories, we
can rewrite them, not in
some fantastical way, but,
“This has happened to me” full stop! can
become “This happened to me, and now
I choose …”;
Writing it out is better than
thinking about it, using
pen and paper is better than
some electrical device,
Mornings are good times,
Reminding us that this will
need repeating;
It will be costly, but
time and effort always win.
