And I feel much, MUCH more fearless and stronger because of it. Having understanding and supportive friends and family helps enormously. Granted, life is complicated, but that doesn't mean we have to make it that way. (It seems some people live their lives going out of their way to do that, consciously or otherwise.)<br /><br />You can also judge yourself harshly. In my case, I always felt reluctant to share my feelings with others for various reasons, including shyness, pride, lack of trust, not wanting to be a burden, feeling unqualified to sympathize with those who have suffered worse than I have (and there have been many). There's more where that came from, I'm sure.<br /><br />It's not that I've relinquished any of these qualities, but I've at least loosened my grip on them. I feel far more balanced now because of that.<br /><br />Stay awesome, Alyce.<br /><br />Janetjanetlookabaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233989678931851237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2432213301937325034.post-80017064359889884902012-04-29T09:47:19.103-07:002012-04-29T09:47:19.103-07:00Beautiful, heartfelt words Alyce!
