Lon,
One sure thing I had to realize and make peace with is that I am not responsible for my clients' wellbeing, but that does not keep me from giving it all when it comes to them. I think the most important thing we have to learn is to be aware... Awareness gives us time to think and then decide. Without awareness we just jump in and make the wrong choices.
I am self-employed. My website is http://www.joyfuljourney.co.za
When you talked about the cattle, I was thinking about the movie "The Horse Whisperer".
All of my pains are fine during the morning and early afternoon. Then it is time for pain killers (but it is not as bad as it was earlier this year).
Take care
