Have now spent a week in a small cabin with my parents, one week to go. I definitely don't regret it, and I appreciate many aspects of their company, but there are times when I have to retreat into my own room and put headphones on so I don't hear them talking.

My dad asked me today when I'm going to grow out of my leftist opinions. Yes Dad, I know you were briefly a Trotskyist when you were seventeen, and your opinions have changed since then, but I'm almost forty. It is not a youthful phase. *rolls eyes*

My dad moved from his Trotskyist views into Mindfulness (via Sartre, of all people). Maybe you could gift yours a copy of "Mindfulness" by Mark Williams and Danny Penman?

Good news: Dad actually apologized when I told him I found it hurtful. So maybe there is hope.

That is good news. *hugs*
