Savour the joy, and try, like many of us do, to keep the guilt pushed far back in the corners. Life is too short.</p> Your honesty is brave and beautiful.

I know about that. I have been out of my darkest of places for 20 years, yet when you have lived there for a long time you don't ever want to go back and you become skillful at living in the light. It's the daily choices that has kept it in the corners. Thank you for your thoughts.<br/>Marty</p> What I liked most about what you wrote was when you expressed that the fear isn’t gone, that it lurks in the corners. I know about that.
