I have to get a blessing for it to be reduces but it does help me look at it from a different perspective.

Oh what good insight. Does it help reduce the pain? Or perhaps just look at it from a new perspective.

Sometimes it takes a long time but once the thoughts start coming they just pour out over me.. as you said Mary, it’s a very humbling experience

Those who expect everything from the world can not possibly feel gratitude for what they’ve been given.
