That includes hanging on to past grief, too. It's not that memories of those you've lost go away, but don't let grieving become who you are.Gloria Aldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581719606924364447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-63538877429202155982015-04-06T09:10:12.828-04:002015-04-06T09:10:12.828-04:00Linda, you have great rules.

I'd suggest that depending on who the three people are, you should either keep the saddle for yourself or put it on them.<br /><br />~ Jim<br />Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-44411202263283280632015-04-06T09:08:27.648-04:002015-04-06T09:08:27.648-04:00If your great plotting break through happens while...If your great plotting break through happens while you're driving, pull off the road before writing it down.

Humans aren't omniscient. Don't allow people to hold you responsible for what you didn't know or had no control over. <br /><br />Some people think if you reveal your weaknesses, you are weak. Keep away from those boneheads. They lack self awareness and live in denial. They only value those who can enhance themselves with perfection and power. They are delusional.
