How awful and selfish could I be? Who cares about my personal pain and family obligations, I had a dear friend who had been terribly hurt....This was a deep ache that I felt every day, until finally there I was at South Davis with you. <br /><br />I tell myself to go easy on myself, keep reaching to be better, to be someone I can be proud of. <br /><br />I'm so glad to hear the class is going well.<br />xooooooooooooooxxxxxxxxxxxx MarilynMarilyn McLaughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07071109176584092182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569355678882263943.post-53437964768963254512010-10-09T20:14:23.019-07:002010-10-09T20:14:23.019-07:00Brooke,

Yet we never see ourselves as we are, do we? I know that I've never met a more compassionate soul, none more concerned with others' pain than yours. <br /><br />love,<br />mwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569355678882263943.post-61717527322447426352010-10-07T22:11:35.405-07:002010-10-07T22:11:35.405-07:00There has to be some way to find a balance between...There has to be some way to find a balance between our own needs and those of others. I write this and I write from the perspective of an 'I' - me. <br /><br />If I were truly selfless, I might start with my view of Brook'es needs - perhaps for reassurance that he is a good man, after all, or even if her prefers some sort of agreement with his stance, I might say he's not dong badly. <br /><br />Total selflessness to my way of thinking has its dangers. It's hard to find a balance as in all things, neither too little nor too much.<br /><br />It's lovely to read this thoughtful appraisal of how things are now. I am in awe of the process you two have endured.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.com
