Hi Elina,

This is one of the best things I've read in a long time. I'm saving it for those times I need a reminder.

Thank you very much for your post!!

 SO SO true, Elina...I especially relate to the part about choosing which emotions to "feed". I have definitely found in this journey called life that it is really 10% cir****tances and 90% PERSPECTIVE. I can choose to b*tch about my job..or be greatful I have one. Household chores are a nuisance...brought about by the blessing of having a home. It goes on and on. Basically, as you said...we cannot always control our emotions but we can choose whether we dwell on them or not and whether we choose to see the glass as half empty or half full. This realization has made me SUCH a happier person. Thanks for being such a wonderful mentor to so many, Elina. I am following your advice and the lard is MELTING off!! Woot!
