I find that the extra bounce of empathy offers me better insight into "why" things are happening which eventually helps me, help others get past them. Which sounds very zen considering I'm basically in an IT type position, but it's true. I once had a manager tell me that normally he would say that I was getting too close to people, or to users, but it always seemed to work for me and I had the best relationships so he said he'd just leave me alone about it.<BR/><BR/>I love the way the house looks!Dragonfly7673 (Vicki)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13806149647914059096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124328661960643258.post-47273915679610984792008-11-03T14:47:00.000-06:002008-11-03T14:47:00.000-06:00Holy crap, Suna, is that the same house???The pati...Holy crap, Suna, is that the same house???<BR/><BR/>The patio is AMAZING, and everything looks really, really nice. I guess it's been too long since I've been over to visit. But I have yet another new work schedule, so maybe I'll have some free time one of these days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509435454780957413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124328661960643258.post-51288909244292035352008-11-03T14:07:00.000-06:002008-11-03T14:07:00.000-06:00Thanks, Vicki.Also, I want to remind myself to not...Thanks, Vicki.<BR/><BR/>Also, I want to remind myself to not say things like, "I think things are OK, at least for a while." As soon as I say that, things get not OK.

Anyway, it's your blog - you go ahead and post whatever you want.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with you that the most important thing about noticing a way you're different from the majority is being able to accept and really believe that it's not a flaw in yourself. Once you can internalize that feeling that it's simply a difference (and differences are good, right?!) you can stop feeling badly every time you notice yourself being that way. Well, that was not very clearly written but i hope you understand what I mean.<BR/><BR/>I think your sensitivity is part of what makes you a person I am proud to be friends with. It seems to me that being sensitive makes you think hard about the way you want yourself, others and the world to be. That type of thinking is what makes the world better. How can that be a bad thing?<BR/><BR/>PS I sure wish we weren't still in debt from our trip to Japan cause I would love to come for your wedding.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10549767433697954149noreply@blogger.com
