@the medalist I❣this post! How wonderful that you pushed yourself to a new level and had such a beautiful day with your husband and daughter. Sometimes my "self described limits" (doubt+fear) is the only thing that keeps me from doing something I want to do. I have trouble accepting help from others which is a limiting factor, too. And I'm glad you have found meditation to be so useful in your daily activities. I had not thought about acceptance in the way you described but it has certainly given me something to think about. Thank you!
@nebslp, I think self doubts and our self described limits hold a lot of us back. To me, it’s much better to try something and have it not work out, than to not try and always wonder. My chief goal in life is to get to the end of mine with as few regrets as possible. No regrets would be great, but I don’t think that’s possible.
And thanks, @MadisonMolly2017, for the lovey response.1 -

The exercise this week made me focus more on being grateful for my family. Life can get so busy that it is easy to take our loved ones for granted. I put off other tasks & chores today so I could put up Halloween decorations with my boys. We had a lot of fun and of course, I am grateful! Chores are always there & can do them tomorrow!
So true, @Cafelelia. Pausing to reflect on what we are grateful for has a way of shuffling our priorities to focus on what’s most important in our lives. I bet your sons are thrilled with the decorations. And since today’s the day, Happy Halloween!2
