That's where I am right now, floating helplessly in the middle of the ocean. I think I'm going to head to shore for good this time. Hope to see you guys there.

Excellent - I've just finished the book.

i agree with "vallievids" comment. however, this video has brought me some comfort, because of it's lightness and silliness. it's saved on my favorites to return to in my times of need.

Thank you! You're helping me to giggle at my own demons! :D

Great metaphor and great points. But my fast-paced mind got impatient for it to move forward faster.

Thanks Joe - it's a great visual of the metaphor and is much appreciated:) I have posted it to my "mindful psychology" facebook page so hopefully it will be seen by many more people and can help them too.
