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)))))
