Greetings to everyone on this fine new day of 2005!

I woke this morning for the sunrise, thought it would be a good way to
start the new year and although I didn't actually see the sun because
of the cloud cover there were some beautiful colours on the horizon and
patches of extraordinary lightness and I knew the sun was there, doing
its thing, even though I couldn't see it and that made me think of how
it was when I was recovering from panic attacks.

Seeing glimpses of hope and using those, knowing the sun really was
shining there behind those fragile wispy clouds that looked so solid
and grey, I just couldn't see it quite yet.

I hope everyone coped well through what can be a stressful time even
for people who don't consider themselves especially anxious.

I know I would have got myself tied up in knots without EFT in the last
week. Trying to keep everyone happy is not easy and I ended up paying
the price for not being able to speak up for myself, something I have
definitely promised myself to work on this year, that and learning to
create very firm boundaries.

I'm not sure quite how I am going to achieve this yet but small steps,
one at a time, seems to be a good idea. I have already tapped for

Even though I can't say what I want to say for fear of upsetting
people...

Has anyone else made any resolutions?

Best wishes and bright clear sea breezes to all,

Nicola
