when you look for the best in others,you will discover the best in yourself.

boy,do i need to remind myself of this. i am so intolerant and get so mad at other people so often. i can credit myself that in spite of this i don't do other people harm knowingly. but i know i'd feel better if i made the effort to see the good things. i used to be a much nicer person...and i'm definitely not happy with the person i've turned into. time to see if i can wake up,get out of this poppy field,and head back home. has anyone seen my shoes?

(((HUGS))) The neat thing is, as you learn to love others, you start to learn to love yourself. Thank you for the support you have given me along this journey. I'm glad we are fellow travellers. God is blessing your journey, and you are in my prayers.

you've definitely got a lot of things figured out.

you're welcome for the support,and i appreciate yours as well.

i've been on a real spiritual rollercoaster,very high and very low,lately. i hope it settles down for a while,but who knows.

i'm not sure if you know what scrupulosity is...it's a form of ocd that has to do with the spiritual life,and feeling like one is really bad. a couple of times,including recently,i've gone through worrying about going to hell. it may sound ridiculous,but it is very mentally real when i go through it. one of my consolations is that there is a name for it and i'm not the only one!

God is teaching me some tough lessons. it really helps that Jesus has been on earth and i can relate to Him because of that,whereas it's harder to relate to God the Father. which is one real simple way of what christianity is all about. i can't say that everyone needs to have Jesus as a way to God, but i certainly think i do.

at the moment i am in a pretty good place. thanks again for your thoughts and support.
