Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the kind comments, Brinda and Rohit! When I say thank you in the way I was trying to describe, and fully trust that this gratitude is merited, I've found that it challenges me to discover what tailor-made lesson or pointer is being shared with me. In essence, I am compelled to ask, “Why the heck am I thankful for this thing that I find so odious?” And this is where things can get really interesting. If anyone reading this is curious to try the practice her or himself, and is struggling with finding the gratitude, I am happy to look with you regarding any particular circumstance.
