Taking a break

[October]

Going on Sabbatical.  

Sick of board police telling me what to think, and how.  Will leave name open for a short while, and then delete.  My friends know who they are, and I will hopefully find a way to keep in touch with them.

That’s a shame October. I’m sorry you’re going. The board police? - that's Dr G, you know that. I don't think there are any others.

Sheeesh….. well, if you want to go, I guess you’ll go. But maybe you can leave for a while, and maybe not permanently? I hope you change your mind, reconsider.

I was writing a post to you and it contained this:

everything is balance. Without others, we have no interpersonal reality, we just have our own minds and nothing to compare to and contrast with.

and I feel it kind of fits here. I hope you come back, I think only by disagreeing with others do we know how strong our own beliefs are.

Take care October. I wish you well. With love, Portia

Hi October,

I feel kinda awkward coming in the middle like this.  Sorry, I haven't followed your thread from the beginning.  Anyway, I just want to say, I'm sorry that you had a few unpleasant experience on this board.  I know the last thing any of us want is for somebody to tell us how to think, what we should do, or should say.  That's very insulting.    And I'm so sorry that you've experienced it here.

Dear October:

I'm very sorry for offending you.  
I'm not going to add anything to that because surely I'll put 2 or 3 more feet in my mouth (which is big enough to hold 1/2 a dozen or so).

I am not going to blame anyone else for this.  This is about my tolerance levels, not about other people's opinions; I will own my own limitations on this one.

I am not strong enough to both tell the truth (about me) as I see it and have to defend that truth against denial.  So I will take my truth somewhere else.  But I am not falling out with anyone here in the process.  

I am not very rational at present, and I am not really able to do this for a while.

I will take some time.  Never a good idea to act on irrational impulse of the moment.  Just got drowned with words, and need to find some peace for a while

Love you, Portia.  xxxxxxx

October, I wish you well and hope you find peace.

October, I have a birthday on Halloween and love to see October.

I will look for you when you feel stronger to come back.

I don't know the whole story, but Im sorry that you are having a difficult time with the words people speak to you. I'm very sensitive and have had to learn not to get offended about much anymore.

My D comes up with some knife cutting remarks that are so hurtful.
I tell her they hurt we say sorry, then I go on, have a great day, continue without being mad.
Days go by and I remember the remark I try and work through the pain don't cave in for her approval and my selfworth.

I will pray for you that the pain from any hurt you have, will shuffle out into something wonderful for you. Maybe any remark that cuts deep is showing you it needs to heal as the scar is formed the reminder will be there so you can share with others who need to heal.  

I want you to stay................Hugs to you .............OR
