The "mantra" listed on pg 93 of Dacher was awkward and was not something I would say myself. I changed it to say, "May all my love ones be free from suffering. May all my love ones find long term health, happiness, and wholeness. May I assist all my love ones to be free from suffering. May I assist all my love ones find long term health, happiness, and wholeness." I found because this phrase was a mouth full, I felt shifted to memorize, which distracted me from goal. I will definitely need to work on the Universal L-K.
First, this quarter at Kaplan, honestly, has been miserable. For the last year and a half, I have taken a full load each quarter and survived. This quarter I was definitely tested. When I started this class some 8 weeks ago, I was not planning to simultaneously work full time at Visiting Nurses, not including, go through a complete computer charting class over 6 weeks. When it rains, it pours, our office and our patients since November 2009, has been hit by the Swine Flu. We are shorthanded. I've been working 115 hr pay periods to keep up. So, I'm severely distracted. I have assessed that I have neglected my lovely wife. In my despair to keep up with all my juggling plates in the air, I have withdrawn myself away from what is truly important. My meditation and visual imagery, I hope long term, takes me to avoid all distractions, negativity, and encourages me to rid myself of hesitation to reach out, to hold, to caress what is dear to me.
I need to to succeed or I will fail what is most important to me.
Respectfully, Steve Tardy
