Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 hello all optimists ! not sure what the hector i was thinking when i posted my driveling thoughts about the state of planet's common consciousness ... but i think i just had a glass or two too much of kefir that morning ! i thank all of you who replied on - as well as off-list to me with words of encouragement, snap-out-of-it-girl !, count y'er blessin's instead of yammering, words of support, and words of thanks. all very well-intentioned and compassionate. and appreciated ! once a year or so i have a funk-day, this week my mom, who lives 4000 miles away, had a near-fatal asthma attack and told me all about it on the phone while she was lighting a cigarette and taking a swig from her inhaler, and i just about pulverized the phone in my hand, that's how mad and helpless and hopeless i felt for her. and there you were to catch my funk! thanks ! and connie, i agree. i know. i'm so with you when i'm sane. i just forget when my emotions flood my brain, at times. angel on her best behavior, promise ! From: drconniend@... Dear Angel - I think that you are thinking about it too much. Just be honest with who you are and what you now understand and be very greatful. Most people will never have the understanding and knowledge that you do (it is precious). It is not their time and it's okay. Be thankful and non-judgemental - that way you can let the anger go and live as honestly and honorably as you can - it is not their time yet and it's not your responsibility to make it their time. I am a licensed ND - and I've had to learn this the hard way (since it's my job to instruct people in wellness & diet). I've had to let go of alot of anger toward people not committed to changing if I had any hope of helping them (and that's most of the people who come to see me for those instant fixes). Most people are not ready - it's okay - it's not your responsibility - your responsibility to be honest and truthful about who you are and love it. You've been given a precious gift. Live your life in total honesty and truth and people will see how you live and will see this beautiful human being - and wonder -- wow! what is she doing ? - that's more powerful than any words we can speak - create that kind of message. Be kind to yourself - be kind to others - it may not be their time and we are not their saviour. Dr. Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
