I&#8217;ve been exceptionally grateful for the positive people who&#8217;ve crossed my path and helped me to remain positive in the face of my life&#8217;s personal low. Speaking to my two friends enabled me to &#8220;give back&#8221; some of the positivity that has come my way. One of the two is almost debilitated with fear. I spoke to her at length and threw out some recommendations to help her shift her focus away from her fears. Whether she is able to do it for a sustained period of time is another question but I would like to think she is looking at alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>I still have my moments of fear-based thinking or situations that bring me waaaaay down as well. However, just when I&#8217;m sinking I end up with a phone call or an email that cheers me up &#8211; for that I&#8217;m grateful. Right now I don&#8217;t have everything that I want but I do end up with everything I truly need at the time that I need it. It&#8217;s those little things at just the right moment that I&#8217;m learning to appreciate more and more. <\/p>\n<p>Currently reading:<br \/> The Secret of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight<br \/> By James Redfield<br \/> Release date: 01 November, 2001<\/p>\n<p><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 85%;\"><\/font><font style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"\" align=\"justify\">\n<p><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current mood:&nbsp; contemplative I spoke to two friends yesterday who amazingly are going through two situations that I&#8217;ve recently gone through.
