when you feel deserted and anxiety overwhelms you who can you turn to to tell you it will be okay walk away from the moment, shut out the world, savor the tears, releasing its hold yet falling apart how can you explain that to those who don't understand that someone not known is your support why is it that when another feels inadequate he has to make you feel the same not knowing your daily habits nor knowing the steps you walk sometimes backwards but always trying to gain control to make progress instead should you absorb his insecurities or go looking into home remedies to cure your own why is it you aren't allowed to have some relief, a gettaway from your everyday without being told you are wasting minutes hours, days and months who are they to tell you how to run your life when you have run it well for so many years before aren't you allowed, when your world falls apart to learn from it, shouldn't you do it at your own pace leaving anxieties behind, phobias to deal with isn't that enough without having others condemn you for who you are... overly sensitive but caring to others, never refusing to help another yet when needing help being reminded of the paybacks necessary? type A today, me, blocking all who should be there unconditionally from reaching me for now M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Maureen, now I'm wondering just how did you know that this is exactly how I'm feeling today? I honestly don't know of anyone who loves me just because I'm me (unconditionally), except for Gary and Scooter (my little dog). It seems, sometimes, that as long as we are doing everything exactly the way everybody else thinks we are supposed to, then we are loved and accepted. Doesn't it? . . Sorry, I got so long-winded, but this really hit home today, for some reason. There's a lot more I'd like to say, but I guess I'd better just hush. . . Anyway, friend, thank you so much for this. I'm going to print it off, if that's okay, and send it to Gary. He feels exactly this way, too. Maybe that's one of the reason's we love each other so much....because we don't want to change each other, but accept each other unconditionally. I may be wrong, but I thought that's what "love" is???  |

to tell you the truth, I am not sure I even know what "love" is anymore.. thanks Dixie, and ethel...just a bad day all around for me...and I was wondering what I have to do to be able to claim my own life and not have criticism thrown at me if they have not walked in my shoes... which I am sure no one ever has, nor would they want to.

~M~ I learned long ago through various (hundreds) of books of every kind of mental, emotional and spiritual help I could get my hands on that when someone tells you ~you should~ be, or think or do something, they are judging you and only God can judge... One conclusion I came to is the people around me who've been critical did not go through what I did and lack knowledge and wisdom of what devastation can do and I have to accept they are therefore ~Ignorant~, because I KNOW they meant well....hard as that was to swallow... they just DO NOT KNOW!!!! Unfortunately, privacy is all important when rebuilding one's life, because 'they' don't understand! Hugs to you, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Thank you Donna, some day we should get together...*s Pat, I am very understanding that way..but in this case he didn't mean well. He was just "mean". M |
