I still get angry. I got angry only yesterday. 

Even though anger feels unpleasant. This doesn’t always make it easy to resist. And against my better judgement I do get angry, I wish I didn't. I don't like getting angry, and like Dr. David Banner you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

It's hard sometimes. Money is stressful. Things keep breaking down and need fixing, and it’s expensive and tiring to deal with.

I don't always feel friendly. I find it impossible to be friendly all the time.

Equanimity can be challenging too, especially when dealing with others. I can't always get away from people and what they want, and they can be quite demanding at times.

I do still get angry, I wish I didn’t. I keep practising to abandon it, and one day I will be free of it.

I am devoted to the spiritual path, but I don't always find it easy. I keep trying. I want to give up, but I keep trying, despite my failings, I persevere.

Good to see you back. Occasionally, we slip off the main page. I understand those emotions. Stepping back from those who drain energy and taking a walk in nature really helps. I hope you have nice places in your location.
