...and dealing with it. Pema Chodron in this video talks about the value of being provoked, because it shows us what we have to work with and work on in our Buddhist practice.

I'm trying to see my family and certain, specific loved ones (argh) in this light and regard them as wonderful spiritual teachers. The alternative is to go out of my mind with annoyance and frustration.

I'm embarking on round two of my massive self-improvement project, also known as The Holidays 2009. If I don't have time to post again soon, merry merry, everyone.
