Dear Anita,

I read the first part of your post, the comment about the deceiving weather, and how it is the changing of seasons.

It made me think of myself.  Sometimes your own self can be deceiving, growing and changing – of the season or tide – but your mind has not caught up or adjusted.  This can lead to confusion or even a deception feeling.  Perhaps it also relates to the sometimes yearning of CC to be SCC again, only to think again and say – nope.

yes, nothing more is needed to challenge myself, or our talks today – you are absolutely correct.

This DOES feel like the real thing.  why?

because it feels centered, it feels like myself, it feels like I am living – and able to take challenges thrown at me, the normalcies of life, tough commutes, tough patients, ups and downs – but remain grounded, heart and feet strong.

I am glad for this.
