~ ~ Hi Phillipa,
Thanks. That's precisely what I want to do, but sometimes I find it really hard to control my thoughts.
The one strategy I'm going to try is if I have a worrying thought about 'home', I'll look around me, get in touch with the peace & beauty, BREATHE it in & in the out-breath, send some of that peace & beauty back home, then keep breathing it in & enjoying it. I think that might help. Sort of acknowledging the thought rather than trying to swat it away like a blackfly. I just thought of the analogy of a little kid saying, "look at me Mom; look at this; watch me Mom........" until ya look & acknowledge them. Then they show you whatever it is & go merrily of their way with whatever they're doing. Hope it'll work like that!!
Hugs Phillipa
