I carried that through all of my childhood and early adult years. It wasn't until I did my own personal healing work that I realized that more than likely none of my friends thought I didn't belong. It was all inside my head. I am so glad I now realize that I can belong in many places at the same time.

Thanks a lot. <br /><br />Your post reminded me of the complaint free world bracelets. http://www.complaintfreeworld.biz/. That group challenges people to not complain for 21 consecutive days. Every time you complain you switch the bracelet to the other hand and start your time over. It is a helpful tool.<br /><br />You are moving towards your goals so fast. You are an inspiration.Karunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11695443841134675309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021541943183998995.post-90812042083349270312014-03-07T15:06:02.459-08:002014-03-07T15:06:02.459-08:00@Sreejit.

We do tend to be grateful for things outside of ourselves...I like this, makes me think a bit of being thankful not only for today but for what I am, what I do, what I've been. The serenity prayer has always grounded me but I do have to repeat it a lot to know the difference of what is out of my control.
