How to regain, how to reclaim the SELF?
When is the stretch too much?
What is needed?
What are the lowest common denominators?
Time alone--for us introverts.
Sleep--for us who need sleep.
Beautiful food--for us beautiful, fresh food lovers.
Yoga--for us breathers and stretchers and lovers of delicious holds.
Outdoors--for us outdoor needers.
The dog--for us dog needers, dog pleasers...joy in the woods, all alone, watching, not talking, not thinking, just feeling, communing silently, ever so subtly with the dog, listening to body movements...joy in the woods, on the trail, with the dog...
Love---of self, be gentle with oneself, from others, from another, of LIFE capitalized, of learning, of mother, of siblings, of family, of her...
How much stretch is too much?
How much can we wait for something to be created?
What's NOT wrong?
There are no miracles...only this miracle...
Isn't your life as it is now a miracle? Co-created by you and the Creator.

Keep stretching Chad. No pain, no gain.
And, here's another phrase I rely on:
"When the heart cries out in pain, the soul is laughing for it's gain."
You are already on the road to reclaiming the SELF. The road map comes to you from the heart. So keep following it. Your heart, that is.
And feel free to backtrack, take detours, u-turns and off-ramps. It's your life, it's your experience. You are in the driver's seat with the Creator as your navigator.
