That would be good, Hesperis, but I think you'll find it will have more of a benefit for yourself. I know the circumstances you are in are real and difficult, but some times when we are in that for so long we get into what my friend calls a "victimhead" and we begin to think that it is so tough things just keep piling up and we will never reach our goals, the ol' "it's one thing after another." A loss of control. I am not saying this is you, personally, just a general observation.

There are some good books about it, including anything by Louise Hay in which she teaches how to focus on being full of thankfulness and watch what follows with the upliftment of thinking. First Nations peoples often teach this coming from a place of gratitude and start their day with a thankfulness prayer or meditation.

My brother is in his 60's and has spent his life as a brilliant pianist/composer, but he has also felt as though he is the victim of everything and everyone around him, including circumstances. At this late date, I don't know if he will ever be able to change and see that his *thinking* and negative words have had a profound effect on his life. I use him an extreme example of what can happen if one looses balance of the negative and positive in their lives. Throughout this he has given up complete responsibility for his life and is now completely bewildered to find himself in extreme straits, when it was his decisions or lack thereof which brought him to this point.

IMO, our subconciousness is like a computer. It takes in everything and anything which we feed it, without discernment, no judgement as to what is good for us or otherwise. So, imo, it is important to input data which sees the glass half full rather than half empty, etc.:-)

Meaning no offence and hope this helps,
