Many of the "reasons" I have honestly and earnestly put forth to account for my actions were simply rationalizations that made my story sound better. I laugh at those foibles; it is a joy to be aware of them. I can only guess at all the ones I haven't yet recognized! But I already know that hanging onto my perceived wounds, my "scars," has never brought me anything but pain; when at last I can separate myself from some part of my story that has ended I experience a great sense of freedom. It is a lifetime practice.naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18341584934835130812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804619119989663449.post-46353783867401088422012-01-11T14:03:34.144-08:002012-01-11T14:03:34.144-08:00Mindfulness in speech and thought.

In actuality, the individual may know what is best and the reasons are not excuses but rather a more thoughtful and experiential way of living in the world for that person at a particular time. On the relative level pretty much everyone if not all have limitations of some sort. It is only on the absolute level that perceived limitation are believed by some, not to exist.Jen Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18186986063036243809noreply@blogger.com
