She told me once that I was the only person she'd ever seen who kept making 8 step theorem proofs into 25 step theorem proofs. Ms. Armstrong told me I was the only one who could take a problem that should take 3 minutes to solve and turn it into 25 minutes of work. Sounds like you do that with life, not math.<br /><br />"Let Go" was the message for you a year ago and it is still valid today. As much as you think you know what it means, I think you're still missing the totality of that message. You'll get it soon. My instincts tell me that. <br /><br />Hugs!JThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057132276008655913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251311731294059452.post-40209273249910412692010-12-14T10:13:16.531-08:002010-12-14T10:13:16.531-08:00Amalia - good for you!

There's struggle enough without picking a fight with it.<br /><br />jws - excellent advice. It's a fine line that requires mindfulness - trying to stop trying is classic.

It's too easy. Never mind that the ease probably means that it's the path I should take, a la natural talent, but it makes me feel like I'm cheating. <br /><br />I'm finally starting to embrace First Person, in little drips and drabs. A story here and there! Sometimes I still feel a little bit of guilt about it. But. It's a start!Amalia Dillinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13005039978668326144noreply@blogger.com
