The first thing that comes to mind  is to throw EXPECTATIONS out the window . I fancy myself as a practiced meditator who lets things flow around her . When I totally lost the thread of things, it was because I had not looked for the clues and suddenly found myself in deep sh…. letting everything get to me and feeling STUCK and ANNOYED.

As Pema Chodron says: ( The Pocket Pema Chodron)

‘Ego is like a room of your own, a room with a view and with the temperature and smells and the music that you like. …the more  you try to get it your way, the less you feel at home when you go out… You become touchier, more fearful, more irritable than ever. “

Amazing August is coming to a close and I thank  her for deep family connections, learning more about ego’s hold, and any  peace  and clarity I have received. Thank you, August.
