Good morning my DU family,

I realized yesterday how emotionally exhausted I am after my trip, and it's similarity to so many events of my childhood in which I usually did something self destructive shortly after seeing my mom after two years as an example.
Please give us all a day filled opportunities to to recognize where we are and the state we're in so that we can deal with things in a healthy, thoughtful way instead of a reactionary and programmed way.
Let us honor our emotions and their connections to our dearest by feeling and sharing and not isolating and medicating.
Love, John
