I've been feeling on edge lately and it's been hurting my relationships with the ones I love. Something this morning made me get out of bed early to practice my yoga (something I've been neglecting) and I feel like my whole mood changed ... just that act of taking a little time for myself - without guilt - made a world of difference in my outlook. There is a quote I recently posted on a blog I write for that I think is also quite relevant and generated big sighs of relief with my audience: Yes, Mother. I can see you are flawed. You have not hidden it. That is your greatest gift to me. - Alice Walker Thank you for reminding me why practice is so important.

Sometimes, though, like you say, I find I can remove my self from the situation (oh, practice and practice!!), and find a moment of grace. What a relief!! Also, ditto what Meg Casey said: "amazing grace!" I know your words aren't the moon, but they sure have a way of taking me there. :) Some days I am desperate to save myself from myself (oh, irritation and anger!!), and yet I often end up being driven (by my self) into ever deeper despair.
