I can SEE what I think and I can reason with it. Sadly, I am just learning to work out the emotions part of it all. I dislike, or have disliked emotions. I have seen them as troublesome and burdensome, and quite frankly have had no use for them! Or so I thought. Now, I am just overwhelmed by them and can't figure out how to control them...Enough venting =o)<br><br>I Thoroughly enjoyed reading this post. I am a New Fan, thus unfamiliar with your other posts (which I am going to read as soon as I finish my comment), but, as I stated, I thoroughly enjoyed the unguarded bluntness and "Humanity?" of your post.<br><br>Thank You...fromthepewshttp://fromthepews.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-43338108060734584772010-07-03T10:32:07.106-06:002010-07-03T10:32:07.106-06:00Not greater, let alone "Much Greater"!

At the risk of fomenting a mutual admiration society, to which I am not personally opposed, I just try not to be too specific about the personal work I am doing, though if you look way back, this has been something a maturing process, at least I hope it has. <br><br>It's funny you should comment this morning because while you were commenting, I was composing a post on blogging that draws attention to your excellent work.<br><br>I understand fully about writing to clarify things. This alone is enough for me continue, though I do hope what I write has resonance with others and maybe even helps them, encourages them, provokes them.Dcn Scott Dodgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09994604395739905637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254272216866737058.post-27287451570732360552010-07-03T11:00:10.313-06:002010-07-03T11:00:10.313-06:00If only you could see the smile on my face!Thank y...If only you could see the smile on my face!<br><br>Thank you! <br><br>I feel like a teen that has just received a pat on the head, an acknowledgment, from her "Teen Idol"!!<br><br>I will never wash my eyes again ;)<br><br>Thank you for your encouraging words.
