Visiting Quakers from out of state came to our meeting today; they are traveling around to small, isolated meetings. Visited, potluck, talked....very nice.

Sorry I whine so much... The truth is that there's an element of choice in the way I feel. I don't know how much is choice and how much is pulled from my gut, my being, my heart, against all reason. The flip side is that fighting it would only hurt anyway...still, the element of conscious decision is there. And since this is the case, whining and complaining is silly.
