Good morning Reuben, what a wonderful lesson to learn when one is struggling to get a hold of oneself in any situation. I instantly felt better when I listened to you and found myself smiling . I always do when I listen to you! You know that! I’m not in any such situation which you described but I was able to translate it to my present state of mind and look at myself with kindness and compassion and it immediately transformed the way I was thinking about myself. I don’t know whether I’ve made any sense at all but I’m certainly feeling a lot better! You always come to my rescue- thank you always and always❤️💕.

Splendid! So clearly explained, and with so much compassion 🤗
