That said, tonight I felt moved to respond to your examinations of possibly being too judgmental, or of being judged, as to the amount of time or adherence to deadlines/scheduled events. My reaction and advice? Be kind to yourself --- everyone handles life in different ways and I totally believe the ANY God (yours or of any other religion) supports your decisions and circumstances...even though your neighbor may be different. Heck, your neighbor may be a 'lazy, good for nothing slob who doesn't try very hard'...and I believe they're still ok in God's eyes. It's all ok. We all make the efforts we need to make...and we are good. We are enough. We are beautiful in the eyes of all gods or any entities who may catch a glimpse of our extraordinary lives and efforts. Appreciate your own self, and your family and friends. It's natural to judge others...don't beat yourself up about it...just remain vigilent about controlling the urges to get carried away...and you'll be fine. You're a good person. I say, don't overthink it all too much...live your live, love yourself and your family, and love the others who you see are making the efforts to be good, kind, and make a difference.<br /><br />Dale, and your family, must move forward with all attendant challenges. I like what the Dalai Lama said, supposedly said, "what others think about you is none of your business." How amazing is THAT to consider? Think about it, let it go, and move on.artisan1https://www.blogger.com/profile/00495543446969167309noreply@blogger.com
