Part of that was not ever really paying attention to my own thoughts, feelings and opinions on any given subject or person. I was so out of touch with myself that I was easily swayed into believing I was wrong. It gets easier the longer I practice. I struggle with trusting myself too.

I have had my share of bitchy and whiny posts myself. If this isn't one of them then I'm happy, but they're here and I'm sure you've read a few. Let your inner bitch out - it's your blog and you can bitch or whine if you want to! :) LOl – thanks Les! I have had my share of bitchy and whiny posts myself.

They sound helpful and inspiring coming from you. I'm afraid I'll just sound bitchy and whiny.

It's third down on my recent posts ... 'Dating in Des Moines.' Humbling too. I know you'll feast on it. And I love that you feast on the same questions in life that I do. All a part of finding my own way. Thank God we're all under the same stars. I get goosebumps you're so in touch with life just the same. Yes, I posted it again last night.

My main problem, with people I am close to, is that I don't <em>want</em> to believe they are taking advantage of me so I question my own feelings and don't express my concerns immediately. Then later, after I realize it, I fear the conflict, the possilbe consequences, even though I know I'm right. So, I avoid it and end up beating myself up and resenting them. Ugly feelings to hold onto. I didn't even think about it when I wrote this because I was wrapped up in my own situations but you're so right. It is timely isn't it. Now what have you decided to do about the missing blog post?! :) Great point.

No longer in the fog of feelings we can see better what the facts really are. Nice post, and so timely too. ;-) Being upset over what people do or say needs only to be fully experienced and expressed in the moment that it happens and dealt with right then.
