Let me know, drop a line, using my e-mail address, if I can help, I will. <br /><br />Regarding your wife and you: "Dogs and cats should grow up together. It widens their minds. Affection widens ours." C.S. Lewis<br /><br />I hope you are able to sleep in today. You have my best wishes for the challenges you face, and my prayers.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963540433054608632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-57955833560861253842013-11-03T08:29:38.007-08:002013-11-03T08:29:38.007-08:00Dear Vanessa,

I might give it a try, and have greater courage, if I do it with a friend. Dancing is great, I agree. I'm so glad for your comment. Your suggestions augment mine. <br /><br />Thank you, for sharing about "bashing yourself". I have my clients memorize two sentences that help rescue them from self-loathing and self-criticism. Write me and I'll share them with you. <br /><br />My suggestion is asking yourself, what is the reward for putting yourself down? We don't do anything unless it has a reward. Usually we need help, from a person who has emotional and psychological distance from the besetting problem. in order to see its roots. Again, you might want to write me and we could talk about this, privately.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963540433054608632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-71639050578561032842013-10-26T23:43:15.483-07:002013-10-26T23:43:15.483-07:00Dear Innkeeper,

For dinner out tonight with my wife's friend and her husband, visiting from Denver, at a local Indian Restaurant. The food was great and the discussion even better!<br /><br />2. For some personal, catching-up time with my wife, while sitting in our parked car in our driveway after dinner. We could question, challenge, and vent, but exit the vehicle somehow, each in one piece!<br /><br />3. That tomorrow is Sunday, and that I don't have to get up early, go to work, apologize for missing fish, or otherwise put out customer service delivery fires.Carl Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168412345145927553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-55846933445133822962013-10-26T06:37:41.779-07:002013-10-26T06:37:41.779-07:00Alternatives - playgrounds.

When I dance I feel beautiful and unique and special. Taking time to love my body with a massage or yoga or new yummy smelling beauty products.<br /><br />Steps toward the solution - I am trying to learn how not to bash myself. According to others I practice this regularly. I would never hurt another person, but myself, no problem. I am writing down things that others say about me and trying to really listen and take it in rather than throwing up barriers.Vanessa Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06147840385968556263noreply@blogger.com
