She is a women's doctor and talks about the myths of aging, the health and science and the fact that the largest population group will be people over 100 (by 2050, I think). I just started it, but it is very interesting.Sandy Steen Bartholomewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979547420298040620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436443386371586211.post-16805793979120726632015-04-12T17:52:42.577-04:002015-04-12T17:52:42.577-04:00Great post Sandy.

It is so good to hear that other artists (and regular people too) have these moments. Mean people suck. I agree not to give in to the constant tantrum or blue funk. But release is good. Have occasional mini-tantrums in a safe way and allow yourself to let go of that bad energy.

You have been generous with your creative side and this post is another where you are generous with your personal side. It does help bolster our sagging spirits to know we are not "the only one" things happen to and that we can survive the thousands of tiny cuts we endure each day.

But the easiest is to tell the dream to get the hell out of there immediately. There is nothing magic or spiritual about it. Also, be careful about what you watch or read in the media. Load yourself up with the things you want to dream about.

I sighed several times thru this post - commiserating. Preparing for life changes at my age (63) gets harder and harder. . .I'm thankful that we're all here, together. I went to Ann Lamott's page, too, (thank you, Ginny). I think I sighed several times there, too. once when she said, "Earth is Forgiveness School."

Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." <br />Very true.<br /><br />And I think Anne Lamott is amazing, like Oprah. ;-D I used a quote by her for a journal page, last year: http://beezinthebelfry.blogspot.com/2014/03/march-journals.html ("You own everything that happened Sandy Steen Bartholomewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979547420298040620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436443386371586211.post-26158482400599868172015-04-11T20:47:11.625-04:002015-04-11T20:47:11.625-04:00Sandy I follow your blog, own all your books and a...Sandy I follow your blog, own all your books and apps and feel a real kinship with your struggles.
