We weren't able to bear children, so my friends and their children became our own, and so doing we experienced the same separation anxieties.<BR/>We don't look or feel like our elders.

You know, just the other day, my older sister asked me why I think I have anxieties and when I said, "Who knows?" she asked if I take the time to meditate. I said 'no' without giving it much thought (ironically). In fact, I do meditate. I spend countless hours down at the dock of the pond, watching, listening, alone but not lonely.

I watch my mind wandering but dont come back to my breath as I do in meditation.<BR/><BR/>But I am right with you on the lack of time - and also enjoying Ladies in Lavender.
