MBSR (5) Striving vs Accepting. Where both are true.

Striving. Aiming for somewhere. Accepting. Accepting yourself and where you're at. This has been playing around in my head today since they said a day ago that mindfulness means non striving.

Do I password protect my last posts?

I'm thinking about this. About password protecting my last posts. Because they're on the darker side and that's not what my blog is meant to be about. I don't care for my sake if they're up. I posted them, and it helped me to write, and you people here have been invaluable. Thank you for…
