I suppose I'm getting along nicely. When I compare how I behave now to how I behaved several years ago, I definetly think there has been positive improvement. People who meet me seem to think I'm "calm" and "nice," which I think is a product of buddhist study. And I especially like it because it sets me up to be able to help them in the future. A self-fueling cycle of potential good deeds.

I do find letting go of anger to be especially difficult. Especially when it comes to sudden situations (traffic, for instance) or politics. But I'm hoping if I can remember to view the issues as impermanent, and with an unbiased mind, I might be able to slowly work on being more constructive than reactionary.
