The greatest love of all is self love and that is what we all struggle for in the course of our lifetimes. It is a worthwhile struggle! Hang in there!

Billie Holiday. Nice touch :) Counting blessings is one way I can come out of dark places. Dark places have their appeal also, but not if they block your road. Thanks cookie

Well, I don't know if he's a lucky guy because he's in my thoughts...but's he's lucky because from what I know of him he's a very cool, down to earth, creative person. Too bad he lives on the opposite site of the world ;) Always remember that life is built of what you have, what you can create, not of what you don't have. That's a saving grace for me.

It's so much easier to open myself up here, rather than in person. I think I need to heal this part of my life a bit more before I will ever be truly at ease with any of my family. I "act as if" for the sake of the small time we have with each other. Thanks for the thoughful words, as always, and I'm so glad you liked it.

temple, he must be a lucky guy...
and you're right - its all on purpose. when i dwell on how empty i am, i remember my greatest desire at one time was to see the world. one fullness is filled by an emptiness somewhere else. sweet dreams.

Mama may have & Papa may have...
But Goddess bless the child that's got her own. You've got it, child!! Shit, you know how much better off we would all be if we wrote down our blessings like you did here? Pay attention, but pay intention extra, it's a great investment -- Martha Stewart told me.
you're on your way, Temple.

Temple, for someone who claims to hide their true self and fleshly self
from others, I would have to say that you are wrong, at least here on Blogit. You have described yourself in intimate ways and opened up here as I feel that we never do to real people standing right here in front of us in reality and real time.
Tlhe child in all of us wants to be loved and accepted and comforted by parents. Many of us will never get all that we need from them. But, as an adult, we can learn to parent our parents. Love, accept and comfort them, expecting nothing in return, because that's what true parenting is. (My children, I could tell you stories.....I adore them but never expected them to adore me back and didn't parent extremely well in my youth. We all just do what we can.)
I like what you like about yourself and love what you love in life and can only say that our needs grow smaller as we age. Seventeen husbands later, I can tell you that you may not ever find that Prince, though I have more hope for you than I had for myself. Just kidding about seventeen, I think it may have been only eleven. I'd have to go count my marriage certificates and that always gives me migraines. Just kidding about that, too. I no longer get them in my old age and that's a Fabulous benefit of my aging. I put Migraines right up there with long labors and baby deliveries.
