I work hard on making sure my children have a good emotional foundation for dealing with little pain and big pain and not using a crutch except in dire circumstances. I hope this gives them the strenght to go on, instead of giving up and giving in...<br /><br />BreezeCarolyn R.

The doing distracts me, and I don't have to think and feel about the situation that is causing me pain. I like to think of that as "happy denial," but I don't know if it is always the right thing to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014880043626797980.post-60775612990228377852009-07-07T21:08:13.399-07:002009-07-07T21:08:13.399-07:00You always have such great ways of putting things,...You always have such great ways of putting things, Deb.BeckyJoiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148874214990884785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014880043626797980.post-74097205965569747262009-07-07T20:25:58.981-07:002009-07-07T20:25:58.981-07:00Sometimes I'm a do-er.

Sometimes I'm a curler-upper :) And like you, I've moved through in denial, THINKING I'd worked it out. <br /><br />Live and learn, eh?<br /><br />Well, at least we HOPE to live and learn! :)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637670293642285740noreply@blogger.com
