It's a little bit me......

Good morning.  It's a pretty day in the Midwest.  I have been emotionally limping along...trying to put my best foot forward, not rage, be of service, and get thru this lawsuit.  I still am amazed at the evil in mankind, and what people can do to each other....even in a family setting. 

I have been attending Al-Anon now for a year.  It has helped me trmendously.  I have met some wonderful people, and am learning new behaviors.  I am very grateful today for what I have, and what I have learned and experienced up to this point.  It has kept me on an enlightened path of patience, tolerance and kindness to others.

I continue to marvel at the inroads and awareness given to Borderline Personality Disorder in recent years.  It is not swept under the rug, nor whispered about behind closed doors.  I have a new meditation book that was published in November 2011.  It is now offered in two treatment centers in Indiana.

I am blessed.  I want to continue growing spiritually.  I have a lot of help.  I call them angels.   Blessings.
