Lately my hands don't feel like mine...

Well, we filed for Chapter 11 a little over a week ago. Our 2nd scheduled auction date is tomorrow, but the attorney says that everything is fine. I won't know whether or not our definitions of fine match until after tomorrow. A part of me feels liberated, but a part of me is still terrified. My throat hurts, and 2 out of the 4 kids are still up

Don't squander too much energy on worrying. I've been through bankruptcy, and it's not that bad. The enormous feeling of relief should set in any day now.

I don't know who you are. I don't even know how I got to this page, I don't even know WHAT this page is. It came up after a crazy google search I did looking for some sanity, some sort of quote or phrase I could take to bed with me to make me feel better about what I had going on tonight. The google search...and I only admit this anonymously "dahli lama on family pain" that's right, that's what I wrote in the google bar and your journal came up. I only read a few entries and I just want to say, things happen for a reason. You are not alone. I read the entry about how you were in gifted classes and thought it would make you retaliate in some way when you were older, against those that were mean to you. I was laughing and in shock all at the same time. I suppose I found what I was looking for, as in Buddhism it is believed that all beings strive to have the same thing, happiness. We are in this together my friend, all of us.
Cheers.

I wish that I could honestly say that I'm looking for happiness. Maybe the absence of unhappy is happy. I just re-read the entry that you mentioned, and wow, am I full of myself. Sorry about that. Good luck, in your own journey.
