TGNTS ROBERT ( too good not to share)

Robert I LOVE your letters, you need to write, or at least write me more often. 

This stirs a lot of creativity. There is great trauma  in everyday life. But it's what we do with it that counts. 

I have a wonderful prayer/meditation that has helped me tremendously.  I will give it to you or send when I get home. 

I prob won't be at pride on Sunday as my uncle passed away and I feel I need to honor him at his wake down on L.I. 

But hopefully next Tuesday. Know that you are important, loved and abundance is easily and constantly flowing to you. 

Truly, Ed

Ed, Nameste and a BIG HUG too!

(Due to an incident in Texas, I shy away from hugs however I will reciprocate when the other asks for one.  Big step from a year ago, when I refused to hug anyone from dreaded fear, prison!  Not that I'm afraid of going there, just that I've got family issues to take care of first.)  I hope, this message finds you well; and, your parents too!
I've been on yogurt due to an upcoming procedure; yes, I works better.  (I'm out of sorts and no longer flexible either.)  In my mindless state, I am not focused on helping others as they help me to recovery...  I've not been on a nature retreat since high school, thirty years ago, and look forward to vacations often in hospitals, not much fun either.  Enjoy the connection to those around you and nature during this event! Taking it in stride, I am employable or have income; this helps me to move out of the shelters, not the most holistic and health of places, although some like Fairfield and Westport are not too shabby!

The bigger picture looks fuzzy to me due to my myopic condition; but, I try to adjust with meditation, prayer, and mindfulness (new techniques, for a healthier and happier life).  Ah yes, the three of seven deadly offenses: sleep (slouth), mindless pleasures (lust) or drinking (gluttony); I know these well too.  

Good to be thought of and yes, good texting, and hope to see you at the June event(s): Coffee Time, This Ability or Pride?

Truly,

Robert

Yogurt might work better actually.  I'm sort of losing my mind too. I enjoy helping people but I can get so down lately that I am not sure how to help myself. Not sure how we really help ourselves. 

I guess it's best to take it in stride, look at the bigger picture and not what you could have done better but what you tried to do pretty good. I'm sort of in a similar state and either seek sleep, mindless pleasures or drinking.  

I'm going to a weekend retreat and hope I find some insight. If I do I'll try to offer it up. 

Love yourself, be good to yourself and be with nature. These usually help me. Don't worry about your mind, everything falls into place and we are usually in our own way. 

Always good to talk to you! Big hug. Ed

Ed,

I've been looking at the old TCC newsletters and ran into two interesting programs: wellness and meditation and yoga!  I read them as  willingness and mindfulness; and, yogurt.  That's where my mind is...
