I've had all of this shit heaped on me, and it's been a struggle to deal with it and stay upbeat. I guess that is the true test, though; anyone can smile in the sunshine.<BR/>I think this is our year, Susan. I think 2009 is the year to find out who we really are. And I think it will be big.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07490109332475074631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-59784597379634461252009-01-08T16:13:00.000-04:002009-01-08T16:13:00.000-04:00I do know people who become so idenitfied with the...I do know people who become so idenitfied with the negative parts of their personalities that it literally becomes who they are. They simply would not know how to function without that negativity. So, "detaching" oneself from those things are vital. But some "attachment" is good, I think. I'm thinking of the attachments to love, to kindness, to the parts of oneself that are unique, to faith, to hope.

Some people just seem to be born with it. Of course, it comes and goes in varying degrees. I don't think it's irrational, because there really are so many things in this world to be sad about. But, there are also many things to be happy about. I guess it depends on what you are focusing at any given moment. It seems that, on some days, one dominates and on other days the other dominates.judy in kyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810068743975026564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-47700665935734509812009-01-08T09:28:00.000-04:002009-01-08T09:28:00.000-04:00I understand "this strange security blanket" of th...I understand "this strange security blanket" of the illusions we construct that we think define us. It's interesting to read this this morning as I was thinking of this yesterday off and on...thinking of how we have to throw all that off and really look for the authentic person that we ARE. There are so many past people and experiences that try to define us and that we have allowed to define us, it can be very difficult to throw that "blanket" off.anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330838836181706358noreply@blogger.com
