Thank you for sharing this engaging personal inquiry Connie. You found a way to ask yourself some excellent questions about self awareness that I've experienced the rub around, but hadn't explored this precisely or usefully. It's almost as though our habits default to the reverse of what is most useful, identifying with thoughts, moods and feelings while keeping our distance from action, when stepping back and holding those inner passing states lightly, yet being willing to be more engaged in our own lives is what is called for.

Thoughtful and timely. My daughter is struggling with the news of the day. I told her it gets easier as you get older...but I think your thoughts are better. I'll forward it to her.

It does get easier. But dang I'm thinking if we could shave off a decade from when it gets easier each generation, then in a few centuries we'd have a bunch of wise teenagers running the place.

Such a thoughtful and important message. A message for our times (all time). In this weird, wild, wacky, wonderful, and sometimes disturbing world, it is often challenging to figure out if, when, what, why, and how to take action, in any given situation. Do we work on elevating our Vibrational Energy? Do we get involved, in whatever way feels appropriate at the time? Do we write to a Congress that seems less than interested in "doing the right thing"? I believe each of us has a great deal of insight and can trust our intuition to make the best choice for ourselves, when the opportunity appears. Thanks for the thought provoking post.
