    Hey! I found it! I didn't even need a map. Just the bread crumbs...

    I'll start the conversation. What are you learning/experiencing in this time of your life?

    I'm learning contentment while working towards goals. Prayer helps.

    I'm also learning how to neutralize the toxicity of "toxic people."

    I'm learning about the amazing positive power of habits.

    Good question. I'm learning to balance my life. Work and home are usually unbalanced.

    It's so close to the end of the year and I'm ready to check out. I am looking forward to summer fun with my family.

    I agree prayer is wonderful way to find peace.

    Toxic people are yuck!

    I'm learning to avoid stressors. I've gone from stressful job, to stressful school, to stressful relationship, to stressful job, and I've had enough.
    I'm learning that being on my own is the most satisfying path to finding a peaceful rhythm for my life. (Toxic people are quite unwelcome to my time and happiness!)
    I'm learning to express my thoughts and needs directly without being condescending or nasty.

    That should be my goal. I do NOT have a poker face and it is my worst enemy. I need to control facial expressions in addition to using a kinder tone.

    Let's see: I've been violently ill, so that was a lesson in patience. i agree that prayer is best for those very times.

    Seems like everyone here is about serenity - less stress, more balance. So how is that achieved?

    Serenity now. Insanity later. Reminds me of a Seinfeld. Everything reminds me of a song, tv show, or movie. Is there any original thought anymore?

    Jimmy Fallon has some.

    About balance, leaning in and leaning out - is it either or?

    Does our life need to fit into neat little pie charts, where each spot is given the same percentage of our energy?

    And do all our relationships need the same amount of energy all the time?

    Honestly, my life isn't as balanced as I'd like but I like it.

    I like to think of myself as a happy person and this is getting way to philosophical for me.

    I'd love to just have a place to come and just visit, laugh and have fun. Humor is always a fun thing. It also relieves stress
