i have to fight instinct in order to stay connected. There is so much negativity being hurled about at times that it makes me want to crawl back into the safety and confines of isolation. But...i will press on through this urge and, hopefully, develop a sense of place, without becoming someone else's emotional doormat and/or hardening my heart towards people i perceive have dealt unseemly towards me. Anyway, that's my prayer to close out this Sunday.

Cheers!
