"If I am grateful for what I have, for the choices I have made, I can stop hiding myself, stop being ashamed of myself—I can let go of everything I think I don’t have or haven’t become—and just be grateful for who I am and for what I have become"

I am keeping that one, if you don't mind. I have been plagerising your post all morning!!

I hope you don't mind... I know you won't because you won't want to defend "whats yours" as much as you want to share it and let it be a catalyist for others enlightenement, whenever possible. Right?

Good. I posted on my Pathways Blog using another quote from it, and it eneded up being all about the problems we have when we take on ideas that need to be defended, ideas that excluse real life.

And it seems good that you don't want to begin again, instead you will just start from "here"...

I really do want to go on from here too!
