Thanks. And, yes, it's best not bottled up. <br /><br />® potsoc: Common, and anger. More on that, later. <br /><br />® Wendy: Yes, feeling away, and less cautiously.<br /><br />® amanda: Not sure if this is brave or ill-advised, but I'm doing it anyhow. And I'm very much aware of the loving community around me, without which I would not attempt this. <br /><br />® FF…: Therapy, but cheap therapy.<br />Strangely, I'm reminded here of a definition of "friend." <b>A friend is someone who demands that you become fully who you are, but leaves you with all your freedom intact.</b> Seems like a contradiction, until you catch the nuances.<br /><br />® S&S: Well, if this is helpful to some, that's great. As to "authenticity and courage," I'm wondering if this is just a bit nutsy and exhibitionistic. But I'm committed to this and I'll carry on.Rob-bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00171692478879522588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1780769436411348454.post-57385561690442374832010-09-19T16:40:12.133-06:002010-09-19T16:40:12.133-06:00Your authenticity and courage are an absolute insp...Your authenticity and courage are an absolute inspiration, dear Bear!
