As I jumped in the car to pick up my kid, I found myself musing on Connee's
dharma re her mom...and was reminded of something I heard many years ago
from Ken Keyes that is so much in the same vein.
Ken said, if I recall, that everyone is always doing the best he or she can
at any given moment to feel loved and empowered.
I know I've shared with the list a bit of my experience in this arena,
so I won't go over it here. But.... today at work I got a compliment
from a woman whom I'd previously not gotten along with very well.
The last few weeks at work have been way too busy (and the next few look
to be about the same... have to get my creative juices working on
something better!). At any rate, she told a woman who'd been out on
vacation for a few weeks that of the people in my department she admired
me the most, for the way I've handled all of it. Staying focused and not
freaking out (much!).
When she told me this, I was pleasantly surprised! My response was: I
guess there was some benefit to growing up in a dysfunctional family!
Learn to ignore the chaos.
Just had to throw that in there.... thanks much for your sharing Connee.
Your message was quite uplifting.
