		<description>I believe an ache in the left hand or foot indicates that one should pay attention to the mother - one&#039;s own or the one within - while an ache in the right hand or foot is a warning signal from the father&#039;s side of life.
Thanks for tickling and tackling our spines and what not, thanks for everything.</description>

		<description>Avia, pain localizes physcial attention in a similar way that dreams aim to focus and shift mental attention. Love the graphics.</description>

		<description>@Donna, Goddess love you for having a pre-teen.  She&#039;s not a lesson...she&#039;s a paradigm shifter! :-) 

Knew you HAD to be joking....where would we be without our morning &quot;cup of ambition?&quot;

Happy to be on the same drift with you, dear.</description>

		<description>Yes, I get your drift.  

&quot;I frequently pull thought-strings about control issues that can make a caffeine-narcotic-addled banjo player look sedated.&quot;

This is my favorite quote from your posting, and the one I relate to the most. It took more than five years of non-stop craziness (= enduring &amp; comprehensive change) in my life before I even considered surrendering some of my control issues, which, for me, was a lot like trying to tread quick sand. Eventually, under duress (and repeated lessons), I found that my control issues were the biggest illusion of all.  

Granted, I&#039;m sure there are still plenty at play, but it&#039;s much better for me now. I mean, how can a woman have a pre-teen and not grapple with control.  Perhaps this is the ultimate test.  Keeping one&#039;s cool as the beloved pre-teen seeks to spread her wings in a dangerous world.

If I had one bit of advice, what would it be?

Stop drinking caffeinated beverages.

HA!

Just kidding ... :)
