Ellen Langer and I see 'eye to eye' so to speak. What she further explains in her piece is that, "in order to deal with slings and arrows, holding someone responsible is natural." My point to drive home here as my conclusion is that holding ourselves responsible... without forgiveness is the beginning of hypochondria for most sufferers.

Take the definition of blame and contemplate between now and the second week in May, when I'll be back to introduce Rage.

See if there is any one event you have blamed yourself for. Reflect upon that event, that trauma, think about if you would forgive yourself for that responsibility, if your life would change. Can you change your belief system and not have to make someone else to blame? Can you just put the event in a place that has a new title? A title that changes from "I should have known better!" To... "that horrible event was sad and true, but now it is still sad but I'm through."

If you would like to email me and talk about what you have read here, please feel free to do so. I will hold all information in confidence and will return your email. Until next time, remember to watch the stars twinkle! RoseMeade
