Compassion - An Emotion I Don't Numb

[Sandra]

Doglover, I might go to Webster's Falls. I love it there. And I haven't been there in a while now. Be nice to see how many of the leaves have changed in Spencer Gorge. There are picnic tables around so I can rest. I get tired out very easily due to my health issues.

ClairBear, congrats on accessing your emotional goo! I don't know what to tell you as far as what to do with it. What do you mean anyway? Are you aware of the feelings but not expressing them or what?

Congratulations? I think I need more in line of condolances. Does Hallmark make a card for that? What I mean is, all this time I've had emotions, but they've been on par with a leaky faucet. A little annoyance here and there, but no biggie. Mostly numb. And admittedly, I equated being numb with being strong. Then I started picking off the scab and my stupid basement got flooded. All those skills the rest of the world has for dealing with the pain they feel? I never developed 'em. No coping mechanisms in place for it whatsoever. Never needed them before. And it's not a trickle effect, it's a flippin' tidal wave. Free emotional goo for sale - come and get it!
