"I" contact...
Quite a bit of my sharing revolves around gratitude.
I have been in such a bad place I get so excited to know-
I have made it so far...!
Sometimes I nose-dive- but the times between this get
longer and longer.
Today i had family around for the garage sale. My deep sense
of self-consciousness has gotten smaller and small...
I was having a sit-down and making eyes with my grand-daughter.
Her face wrinkled in mirth.
One day when her mum was four she was sitting on my knee.
She reached up and grabbed me by the chin.
I was startled- what's this all about?
She wrenched my head around so she could make eye contact with me.:ghug3
I didn't feel horrified or filled with shame. I had enough self-knowledge
to realise what this was about.
I felt sad about what i was to other people around me. a kind of
zombie- a living dead-man... but this incident spurred me on.
comments or sharing on this welcome
cheers,
David.

David,
Thank you for sharing.
I love to watch and visit with small children.
I hope and pray that their happiness and innocence will be retained for as long as possible.
That no one will steal it from them, that it will drift away from them very very slowly only disappearing when it absolutely must do so.
Their spirit gives me so much hope, sometimes I have to walk away so they don't see me cry as I mourn my own lost innocence at the hands of those who were supposed to protect me.
