But it is a discipline and takes a little committment. I took a ten day Veposhina(sp), no idea how to spell it in 1976. It was mind expanding but I've had horrible follow through.

It is good for getting a grip on that blathering parent tape and putting it on forced ignore. That seems to be the 'voice' that wants to interrupt when I get two seconds of silence, and it exclaims you're doing it.

We'd all be better for a little serenity prayer and meditation each day. It is that time of year for resolutions.

You first.
