It's great that you...Star, what an insightful blog. It's great that you've realized you want to stop "should-ing all over yourself" (dumb psychology joke!) :) <BR/><BR/>I also give you kudos for accepting the fact that you have high expectations, and that there's both positive and negative consequences of that. It is what it is - I think we'd all be so much more at peace with ourselves if we just learned to accept things about ourselves, and I admire your ability to do that.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to hear all about your nothing-doing! Give the kitties a pat for me :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11152130723426649734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-40077695592456021482008-10-07T14:29:00.000-04:002008-10-07T14:29:00.000-04:00Star,I am Mrs. Malone's Mom. I read your blog eve...Star,<BR/><BR/>I am Mrs. Malone's Mom. <BR/>I read your blog everyday, in fact it is always on my to do list.<BR/><BR/>I am inspired, encouraged, and in awe of your strengths, honesty, vulnerabilities, and raw writing/feeling talent.<BR/>I laugh, I cry, and I wonder with every word that you write in your blog. With you, I never know what to expect which is why I read your blog on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/><BR/>You are always in my prayers and I think of you often.<BR/><BR/>I like what your friend said about beating yourself up with expectations- beat yourself up first so you can have the satisfaction of saying you did it first.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, I have the disease as well. Just ask Mrs. Malone.<BR/><BR/>Here is a little story- I'm sure you have many, but I find this helps.<BR/><BR/>Friend, Love, please don't mourn for me.<BR/>I'm still here, though you don't see.<BR/>I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay.<BR/>My body is gone but I'm always near.<BR/>I'm everything you feel, see or hear.<BR/>My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart.<BR/>When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you.<BR/>I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.<BR/><BR/>Dannielle TownleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273109860034207832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-75707260581582734862008-10-07T13:39:00.000-04:002008-10-07T13:39:00.000-04:00It's nice to beat up on yourself first, so this wa...It's nice to beat up on yourself first, so this way if anyone else does it.. you can at least have the satisfaction of saying you did it first. <BR/><BR/>I have the same disease :)A.P.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12405476445183734539noreply@blogger.com
