Today is a better day!
Hiya Carolyn,
I think you're right about emotional needs (and all basic needs, for that matter).   I'm trying to become more mature and responsible, as I go.  Maybe by the time I'm 90???  
 
 
Feeling wistful?  (yesterday).  Ya.  And my feelings were hurt about something but I got over it.  Sometimes I'm too sensitive and I know it.  Some days I just feel like exposed, raw, tissue and bones (no protective skin at all).  Maybe that's a bit gross but it is accurate.  I do long for thick skin, sometimes.  Today I feel all covered over again.  Weird.  I know.  

Hiya Leah,
What a nice idea there!  Plants are such wonderful examples of life.  What a great way to remind yourselves of what's fresh and strong and full of growth.   Sorry you were feeling sad ((((((((Leah)))))).  You did a good job of turning that whole thing around!
Thankyou both (Carolyn and Leah) for your kind support and encouragement.  You both helped me feel understood and cared about.  Mostly, I was feeling misunderstood, I think, yesterday.   I popped in last eve and read your posts and that feeling lifted, almost instantly.    Your kind, caring words are like salve.
Thankyou.
We all have days eh?  Winter can be a little dark and dismal and I guess it does contribute to my "off" days.  I really should get one of those bright lights you can buy that shoot white light at yourself.  I may have mild S.A.D. or just plain old regular sad days.  Still, the idea of the light sounds like it would brighten me up.......a little like a fresh plant brightens a garden eh?
Reminds me, I better look through my seeds as it will soon be time to start planting my seedlings.  I love seeing them pop their heads out of the soil.  I look forward to it every year!
Take good kind care of you (((((((both)))))) and ((((((all)))))
