You have many lovely thoughts here; thank you for sharing. It is wonderful that you have chosen to do what is best for you, and not be pressured by others.
My own beliefs are not very accepted where I live. I am a spiritual person, but not very religious, and very uncomfortable with organized religion of any sort. I respect everyone who lives by what they believe, whether we have beliefs in common or not. A few years ago, we moved to a place where the majority of people go to a certain church and are hostile to anyone they can't convert (like us). It's made me wary, and even more of a loner than I already was. I don't really identify with any accepted religion, but do find much of my spiritual comfort outdoors, in solitude, so I appreciate your thoughts. :)
