Quotes to ponder, from a Mindfulness-Meditation Workshop on the theme of "Relationships", led by Patricia Long and held in Bethesda Maryland on 2016-08-21:
| Change the rhythm! | It has to start with me. | No one can diminish you but yourself. |
| How do you love with some degree of separation? | You didn't fail. The relationship failed. | I can choose. I'm not stuck. |
| When things end, it's not always catastrophic. | It's hard to make a change, even when it's the right thing. | |
| I spent 21 years convincing myself that what I wanted wasn't what I wanted. | Marriage is great. Marriage is tough. | Love vs Duty Joy vs Obligation Generosity vs Sacrifice Choice vs Contract |
| Recognize my own value | Allow myself to make mistakes | Honor my intention |
