Many thanks to Bodhi for introducing us to the little gem of a website, The Tiny Buddha. I wish I had this little tidbit to read and re-read a couple days ago when I was feeling so helpless and sad. I know some of you wonderful ladies are feeing that way right now, so I wanted to share.

Observe your emotions without resisting them.
Unless you have a lobotomy, you will experience rushes of emotion all throughout your life. What’s important to realize is that you are not your feelings or thoughts. You exist beyond the machine that is your mind.
This is where you’re able to experience life as it actually is without analyzing, judging, forming opinions, conjuring up images of the past, and worrying about the future.
So notice your feelings. Feel them. Realize they aren’t permanent—you won’t always feel scared, or anxious, or paranoid.
When you stop resisting something it’s a lot easier to let it go.

Warm hugs to all of you. However, if you are still needing that little extra hug today, please wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze.
