I kept the "wolves at bay" today by turning inward while engaging in physically challenging work around the house and yard and then preparing supper for my parents. Remember this: "A busy mind is a happy mind?" When my mother would punish me for some "wrongdoing," she would assign to me a task, then make that statement. WOW!
I never believed it then, but now--some 30+ years later, I find it CAN work to NUMB the mind to pain or desparation. Ha, Ha.Thanks for listening,
