Manuel Moe, I am sorry to hear this.

Please do keep us posted.

I’ll be interested to hear how you do.

Hello Manny,

Glad you got the spam under control. I PM'd you - there's a thread on the phpBB site about this nonsense and how to possibly get a handle on it.

Not sure what to make of "worst day of my life". That is freaking serious.
But let us know how you are. We're a lifeline, maybe made of gossamer but still....

We're so often trapped in our own minds. An outside view once in awhile is so helpful in getting some balance.

(I can get swept away in my own cogitations if I let go. I think it's getting heavier as I get older).

Was going down into the pits this afternoon, but then the "noisy new neighbor" invited me over for their Father's day gathering. Had a nice time, and actually won at the Peruvian "Sapo" game they'd set up. Got the coin in the frog's mouth!

i have no direct control of this terrible situation

i can only try to spiritually manifest the desired outcome

try to feel it in my guts and in the back of my head

i cannot meditate, too many swirling thoughts

but can focus on my breathing, while breathing in a controlled, measured way

be present

i feel sad

Manuel Moe, good for you for sharing.

In addition to breathing, here are two similar actions that have helped me in these situations:

1. Fill 1/3 of a ziplock bag with ice and water. Feel the satisfying cold.

2. Name what your senses are picking up:

A. Five visual
B. Four auditory
C. Three touch

Hth!

Keep posting my friend!
