What a gorgeous comment. Thank you for cros...@Sue:<br /><br />What a gorgeous comment. Thank you for crossing over this time :-).<br /><br />Did you have her for English when she was Mrs Watts or the first year she was Ms Hill? I hear she was seriously scary then. That would have stayed.<br /><br />What you said about my mother - YES, YES, you are right and I'll try that. It'll be hard, but one day at a time. *HUGE HUGS* That was a big breakthrough for me.<br /><br />*GASP OF HORROR* Oh, hon, I never knew. I'm so so sorry. *HUGE HUGS* That's HORRIBLE.<br /><br />Thank you for trusting me with that. <br /><br />@CEAD - *HUGS* - thank you.<br /><br />Anon - THANK YOU. *HUGS* And I think #4 meant in essentials. <br /><br />xxPragmatic Mystic https://www.blogger.com/profile/08877990361303745003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33689950.post-42828877982859675232011-02-08T21:35:25.372+00:002011-02-08T21:35:25.372+00:003.

Could look at you for ages, but your humour and sense of fun would make sure that we interacted a little bit more than just having a passive gazing session...(not that anyone would particularly wish to gaze at me, unless it was a dog or cat wanting to be fed!!!)<br />4. I'm not sure I agree with the person who doesn't want you to change. Really, if I had my way qua you, I'd wish for you that you could be or would be all that you wished - and that, I suppose, would necessitate some form of changing, possibly...although the essential you would remain, the large part of you that so many of your friends love and value...so maybe I do agree with what your friend said after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33689950.post-15636354314664236962011-02-08T12:01:32.195+00:002011-02-08T12:01:32.195+00:00*HUGE HUGS*

You really do have a remarkably beautiful speaking voice, and you're so sensitive to music; if that doesn't translate to a good singing voice, I don't know what would. Your voice will be in its prime now; it's a great time to learn to use it.<br /><br />I love you, she'enedra.<br /><br />Ari.xxCEADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778999811353354648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33689950.post-88995665320467896312011-02-08T02:05:14.296+00:002011-02-08T02:05:14.296+00:00Admittedly, I don't often cross over from FB t...Admittedly, I don't often cross over from FB to your blogs, but I did this time and quite glad I did!<br /><br />For the best- HURRAH! Though I have to admit Ms Hill ALWAYS scared me!<br /><br />For the damaging, in reverse order:<br /><br />4- EXACTLY! How I would have loved to hear my Mom say, "I love you!" Eventually I learned that meant I should let others know how I <i>feel</i>, even if it is as simple admiring the cutest shoes, or as deep as telling my Dad I love him.<br /><br />3. My Dad cannot carry a tune in a bucket, yet sings constantly. Singing is joy. Rub some salves on those HS scars and SING!<br /><br />2. You were not and are not "stupid." Children are expected to trust their parents, and back then any adult. Rather than seeing yourself as "stupid" and allowing these memories to be damaging, turn it around. <b>Nothing</b> your mother did was able to destroy your inherent faith in the <br />human being. If she had, I doubt you could be the counselor you are! You were willing to trust, to believe, and to give her every chance to prove she was worth all that. The failure was hers, NOT yours.<br /><br />and so, to 1. I hear you, truly. I was still being chased down the street when I saw some kids I had been in school with the previous year. My breathless cry, "That man was going to rape me," elicited <i>laughter</i>. So I told no one else what happened for 14 years. Nothing can erase that, or make up for it. The event itself can be difficult enough to cope with when you have support. What he said to you was unforgivable and should be criminal.susan Pnoreply@blogger.com
