"It makes big problems out of little ones, increases our despair when things don't work out as we hope they will and hampers us in coming to terms with life as it is."
That is PROFOUND for me, especially on a day like today when there was some emotional ill-will being spread around that has all its foundation in nothing more than perception. I amaze myself how time and time again, I EXPECT others, who have never had any kind of self-awareness "healing" (i.e., therapy, counseling, meds, recovery and/or combination)--or who HAVE but definitely have not hit "bottom" yet to begin the REAL work--would behave any more sane than their insane selves behave currently.
Why would I expect someone who's been sick with a bad cold to go out and help me move from one house to another when they are CLEARLY sick? That's an expectation, a goal, that is set WAY too high. So, why would I expect anyone who is MENTALLY sick to be even remotely capable of acting in a sane way or even think/perceive in a more sane way? That is insanity on MY part!
If you think I'm talking about dysfunctional "units", you are SO right. Why do they come out in SWARMS, though, around the holidays???? They should fly South for the Winter like birds do.
Merry Christmas!

P.S.From now on, I'm praying for a peaceful, FUNCTIONAL Christmas!
