Rock Banana…thank you! Thank you so much. I am not normally so speechless with my responses, but I need you to know that I have read and reread your response several times and I sincerely thank you for the time you took to give me such a long, well thought out reply. I get it. I totally get what you are saying and appreciate having the error in my way of thinking pointed out to me. I feel like I am on the verge of something so much better for me, and I am very impatient and frustrated and hard on myself for not being able to get there as quickly as I would like. I will try to go easier on myself and just take each opportunity for growth and learning as it comes.

Also, thank you so, so much for posting the link to the videos by Noah Elkrief. I had already stumbled upon one on Facebook one day and found it helpful for the frustration that I was feeling in the moment, but I did not bookmark it in any way, and so I am so grateful that you drew my attention back to him once again…
