Thread title updated to reflect Anni's immersion into a Genius (even without Math). Well done Anni and thank you for all the kindness, warmth, thoughtful words and support you share on this forum!

Congrats Anni :) :) :)

My therapist is teaching me that one of the hardest things to learn is to take in what is said in genuine (genius???? get it??? ;) Okay...close though, you have to admit, right?) and simply saying "thank you" and stopping right there, just letting it flow inside while I experience how it feels to receive such a wonderful gift.

hugs,
Rain
 
Srain, yes, that's it, exactly. It's genuinely tough, so when one even says the whole 'aww, pshaw' thing it feels disingenuous. Hee, I have been keeping a wary eye on Anthony, expecting any moment to be called out on self-negating being not conducive to healing. He's allowed a slide so far so am not going to push it. :D It's true, however of course. The impulse to turn the whole thing sideways and deflect is very strong but will sit on my hands and honestly just say Thank You.
 
Annie,

I am smiling as I have this picture of you logging on, looking at this thread and seriously wondering if they are talking about someone else:). I get the whole compliment thing, but this recognition is true and so well deserved.

When you write, what comes through is the honest, down-to-earth, very approachable, and very humorous person who leaves a little bit of a warm place for all who read to cozy up to. There is the wisdom and the sound advice of someone who has lived through the horrors of life, but come out with grace, understanding, and a love of life.

Annie, for myself, when I have been in places so dark and hope does not seem to exist, your genuine warmth and kindness have rekindled that hope on more occasions than I can remember. If that is not a form of genius, then I don't know what is.

BTW, don't worry about the math, that is why we have fingers, toes, and calculators!
