resolutions

this year i'm giving up control. i never had any, anyway. it's a bit like perfectionism, which i gave up when i was twenty-four. imagine putting so much energy into something that actually doesn't exist. it's rather elitist.

Me, too, but for reasons too long beyond my control. Hopefully, your 'chute is packed properly! I
doubt if there's anything elitist about the landing.;-[

grumb> no parachute here. this likely explains my many crash landings into life. but i always land on my feet. or on my head and then i get up again. sometimes i even land on my head with my feet in my mouth. and then get up again.

steve> awwrh steve, thanks but i'm just like everybody else. i make mistakes, but i refuse to be beaten into somebody else or into resentment by anything, and most especially, by anybody. nature favors adaptation.

CJ> self control is good when you choose the kind that brings happiness. i meant more the 'other stuff' you know, things over which we really never will have control. you can join if you want, because i'm not in control! :)

Greep> yeah me too. i'm getting better with practice and more so - acceptance, mostly of myself. you'll get there - i know you will!
