Lilya,

Great thread.
I, too, waste a lot of emotional energy. feeling hurt though, that is being human. When we don't feel that's when I worry. That numbness leads me right down the road to a deeper depression.
When I turned the big 4-0, my husband had teeshirts made for everyone who attended a surprise party for me. Each tee shirt has a picture of me at the age of 3 on the front of it. The feeling I had when I walked in and saw everyone wearing the tees was overwhelming. I felt carried in everyone's heart, me , at my most vulnerable state, and it affected me in an interesting way....I have never carried and nurtured that child. Sure I read all the books (la la la )but I decided then I would make a better effort to nurture that child. So, if I want flowers, I buy them They cheer me. I color. yep, me, too, juls. My daughter just smiles. And one of my favorite ways to let that cjold play is a bubble bath. Anyway, I was one of those first child, hyper responsible types so any time I lighten up it's good for me. Today I will find a way to play! Thanks for the reminder totake care of that baby within.
(((((love)))))))
