  while sitting at your desk make clockwise circles with your right foot.

  while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

  what direction is your foot going now?

  Yes you are courageous and a wise woman. I don't know courage is like a guiding force. I don't think we give ourselves credit. We hear from others to have that acknowledged to us. It takes a hell of alot to be courageous to survive abuse.

  (((gambit)))

  Appreciate hearing from you and sharing your thoughts.

  Your welcome!

  You see I bought this super duper vacum cleaner this past week-end. What I want to do is ritual or honoring with my old Hoover vacuum cleaner. Thats been in my life since 1972. So its 31 yrs old. Says alot about Hoovers.

  My ex and I used it for contract cleaning business. So in the divorce I was given this Hoover and he kept the super duper cleaner.

  Well I'm all for doing celebrations around many anniversaries in my life. I want to do some kind of thing around this piece of equiptment. Cause its the last piece reminding me of the marriage. Ironically I left him September 1st. So It will be 21 yrs ago.

  So I've been brain stroming. What I do know is that its going to sit in the back yard as a memorial. Maybe I need to dream on it?? Any ideas??

  I was told by my a friend that I as crazy. Its a matter of opinion!!! Besides when you are in your late 50's life gives you permission to be outlandish!!!! lol

  I thought I would resurrect this thread.

  I was thinking about courage and how courage comes in so many ways in one's life. Some are monumental others small.

  I have learned from experience that a wave of peacefulnes washes over me after I have successfully finished a task that was difficult to face. Courage has its reward. However, from time to time, and from task to task, I find I need the reminder that peace will come once the loose ends have been tied by me.

  Right now my patiences are rather thin. Beginning my silver years I have acknowledged many losses over the years. I am in a snag right now. Because I don't want to deal with the pain dealing with the loss of my eight year relationship with my womens (13) drumming spiritualilty group.

  I have a sense why this is so huge for me is that I have'nt acknowledge the loss of leaving the jw's. There have been threads of grieving. I feel like this little kid stamping her feet and saying I don't want to do this. The pain is so overwhelming. I don't want to say another good bye.

  The first 39 years of my life I emotionally lived in land of frozen tundra. So the last 20 yrs I've been working on unthawing these frozen emotions. So maybe at the end of 19 yrs I will have been thawed out!!! lol.........

  And sometimes it takes a lot of energy and to muster up the courage to keep on moving.

  Thats what life is about life, death and rebirth. And to honor the processes.

  Do You Try To Make People Feel Comfortable Around You?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  since this board is filled with so many different personalities, do you ever go out of your way to try to make people feel good?

  do we ever consider that we might make some persons feel unwanted because of constant criticisms?

  i've communicated with one poster recently that's become discouraged over how some people constantly berate or disparage.....if you knew you were hurting somebody's feelings, would you do so intentionally?

  That was my former job in life was to make others feel comfortable. In other words a dysfunctional family. Was a heavy load to carry around.

  Now I can be who I am. Take responsibility for myself and my actions. When I get into those caretaking modes my gut goes off like geiger counter . It's a warning that I am not taking care of myself.

  Those who are abrasive and toxic behaviors. I don't hang around them. When my boundaries have been violated or unjust. I speak up. Otherwise I'm easy-going and calm person. For the most part get along with most people.
