A couple of...I really loved this post today Terri. A couple of things grabbed me.<br /><br />“either he could tell me, or i could stop being so thick and slow!”<br /><br />I saw that line and thought about how I learn. I learn best by doing something myself. Someone can tell me how to do something or I can watch a training video, but until I actually try to do it on my own, I can’t do it. <br /><br />And also, why would you want him to spoil your journey? Sometimes I think how thick I must be. It can take me months or longer to figure stuff out sometimes. It just bounces around and around in that ol’ skull of mine until the light bulb goes off. Sure, it would be easier if someone sat me down and said “This is why you feel this way” or “This is why she feels this way and why you are screwing things up”. Yeah. It might make life easier, but as the band Nickleback says, “Don’t take the free ride in your own life.” <br /><br />And then you got into the inner child thing. And I agree with you when you say that some people don’t get that term “inner child” because I don’t. I can kind of see it, but haven’t been able to wrap my brain around it. And then you talk about how we are when we feel secure. How we let out our “true self” and I just shake my head yes. I know how long it takes me to feel comfortable around people. One of the guys at work commented a while ago how I had changed since I had started working with him. And it wasn’t that I had really changed, it was that I was feeling more comfortable and letting myself come out. I’m usually pretty quiet or keep my feelings to myself when I’m with a new group. But once I’m comfortable with them, look out because the “True Dan” is ready to come out and play.Dan McGaffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126426711643865847noreply@blogger.com
