And it's so easy to go on and on about Lack and Less and the Half Empty Glass. I refuse to do that as I KNOW how fortunate I am and that I can continue to keep "up" my advancing life as I know best to. We have so much in these advanced countries and I hear so much on my NPR/BBC about the rest of the world...Good Grief.....give thanks and drink from that Full Glass. Everyone has ups and downs, and true a lot have many downs, but remember the ups. I remind some friends who are forever in a negative frame --- think about all the good times.... There is so much help out there today and so much can be free. Meditation is very free. C
