I have been learning about boundaries, setting them and respecting other peoples boundaries and getting them to respect mine. Not holding out hope for much success, with family members, I have been pleasently surprised. Heh, maybe I should have done this sooner.
I have also been making an effort to be more mindful of what is going on around me, not checking out or checking into Facebook and other internet attactions so much. It's made me a calmer, happier person.
I can't recommend this for everyone, but it is working for me. I don't think I'll ever be mellow, but I am more at peace right now. Which may be a good thing as the migration to DK seems to be in the works. Go below the fold to find out about the prayer cabinet if you are a newbie.
The prayer cabinet use to be the prayer closet, don't ask me why, well I gues it was about seeking a quiet place, without show, to pray and compose kind thoughts for people in need. I first came here to seek prayer and comfort for two young men struggling at university. It helped to know there were people out there, who cared aboutst, prayed for and sent out kind thoughts.
I got hooked on this quiet, calm, accepting ritual. You can make a request for prayer or kind thoughts to be sent your way or to people who are dealing with the curveballs life has thrown them. Give only as much information as you wish to and know the people here care.
