That is a great accomplishment; it could be laying the pathway for exciting directions for your future in the world. These last three in particular are consistently excellent! <br /><br />Still, to me, who has so closely identified with you and your well-being since prenantal days when we called you Bonzo, you are also developing even more important dimensions of yourself. That is the ability to reflect deeply and meaningfully and to use that process to gain in self-support and insight. When it comes to how you are going to come through this ordeal, in the end, even with all the wonderful and absolutely essential support around you, you must rely on yourself to resolve and move on from inner and outer blocks, challenges, pain and negativity in a therapeutic, positive way. You are a terrific model of using those inner resources, IMHO. <br /><br />To endure these trials while continuing to develop yourself in these ways, with great effort and determination, and to weather it with grace, love, forgiveness and humor... you are quite a mensch, my dear. <br /><br />Love, daAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355254555437696584.post-45322661476505035172010-09-22T12:29:25.260-04:002010-09-22T12:29:25.260-04:00There's no doubt that it's easy to offend ...There's no doubt that it's easy to offend even when you have the best intentions. Everyone is different but it's great to have some guidelines for what makes a person in the midst of an epic internal body war feel even a smidge better.

There are so many reactions and responses, and each one of us copes in our own personal way. You've suggested strongly that no matter how we cope best, we need to cope in a way that expresses the most sensitivity to those in the fight. I'm so thankful for your strength, for your love, your honesty and your ability to express it all.Yonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167557471342182262noreply@blogger.com
