New kid coming.
That’s a lot of work. But – she’s French. I love that sound the most!
19.
I remember
feelings and events so well. It has made me feel like a loser because others
don’t and here I am everything is so real to me…. But today, I realize it is
also the very thing that gives me empathy for the kids. I REMEMBER – VIVIDLY
how I felt in 2nd grade. And
how much power adults had. And what I wished for. … I’m not saying they all feel like I do. Just
that I am aware and empathetic at least.
(Like the need for “one more chance.” Etc.

Sleep last night.
Enough. Phew. (Not like the night before, when I went to sleep much too late).
22.
No word from S or
Jo, both of whom I had to dump. I want
no word from them. Ever. I want them to live their lives and me to live mine
and to have nothing to do with each other. I don’t even feel the hatred anymore
or even the anger. Just want separation. Am grateful for it.
23.
I have everything
(material) I need.
24.
I really do have
EVERYTHING I need. Just need to make some internal changes. As Thich Nhat Hanh
says, “You have all the conditions for happiness.”

Happiness cannot be
