What a beautiful, positive spirit you have and the gift to put that into words is just, well, ..... a gift. And my word was 'presh'. In the south we call people precious -- so presh you are.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555196441071929316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453628865684924395.post-55081027237511744952009-06-20T08:07:40.418-04:002009-06-20T08:07:40.418-04:00The "adult" in me recognizes some of my ...The "adult" in me recognizes some of my childhood beliefs, and I am fully aware that it is my adult responsibility to "grow up" those (truly) hurtful ideas and fears. I've had them for so long though, they are like an old friend. Who would I be without them. <br /><br />I wonder.Katy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622340191299379349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453628865684924395.post-13403156183601369512009-06-20T06:19:03.635-04:002009-06-20T06:19:03.635-04:00It never ceases to amaze me how our childhood &quo...It never ceases to amaze me how our childhood " story" dictates our adult one.

Alas, it seems that the orange Buster isn't the only one who must do something about extra poundage. Very very hard for me as a dormant fear finds a new foothold in my psyche. I can rationalize and talk to myself, I understand the cause, and yet the pain of (imagined) lack and deprivation is a wretched struggle. The imagination is a powerful weapon and a powerful tool, I think. I am working on changing the way that I think. It seems so simple ~ change your perception ~ change your life.Katy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622340191299379349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1453628865684924395.post-1580076171977664912009-06-19T23:51:05.183-04:002009-06-19T23:51:05.183-04:00and the 'word' to sign in was EXTUM ex tu...and the 'word' to sign in was EXTUM ex tummy? strange...does that relate?

I love how we are influenced so much by our past...then take it....turn it about. I like your analogy too...how we are often very much the same inside despite the exterior differences...how both of you knew no difference...he coming from background....you from another. I have a similar story. I can so relate. You are a dear. I love your little ..okay...chubby orange cat. How sweet that your kindness extends to him....he knows what a good thing he has there!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13953079867758399259noreply@blogger.com
