I worried incessantly about my job, my daughter and the minutia of
my life. I felt like I never had enough time to do the things that
I really enjoyed.  I grieved for my husband and felt regret for
when I had felt inadequate and helpless during the years he had
been ill.

Gradually, through taking classes at Seaside and practicing
meditation, I learned techniques to release these attitudes of
worry, grief, shame, regret and fear.  By meditating and treating
everyday, I have come to realize that those attitudes are simply
ways I can choose to spend my time or not.
