> I'm behind on reading, so just got to this and almost spilled my coffee. Took me many, many years to understand my reactions today were based on earlier reactions I had as a child. Now I always know if I have an extra-strong reaction to something that happens, I look behind it to figure out what's really going on.

> best,
> antiguaLOL!!!!!! Now let's see, how did I get so smart? Oh yeah I made the same dumb mistakes over and over again for the best part of 40 years, then woke up one morning and decided I just couldn't do this anymore and started looking for some answers. Didn't feel real smart when I started to look back and see the same patterns repeating over. My new mantra is "Just this, here now". The amazing thing is how everything else around me has begun to change too. Still struggle each and every day but doing okay. Let's just be happy we've finally learned this lesson and hope the next one's not so hard.
Take care,
Damos
