Renigade, the stats for the page views often suggest otherwise. It is only when I go out and "solicit" readers through comments that I becomes visible

When I wrote this HolyGrail I was completely self-absorbed. It's good to know I am not the only one who feels this

Hey, get out of my head and stop channeling me!  (In other words, I could really relate.)

Voyager, if we start altering ourselves to fit in with others soon we don't know where we are

Jimmy68, thanks. The students are taking more time emailing me etc and so it could be some time before I have time enough to concern myself with being on the outside here. Yesterday my students willingly stayed for an extra five minutes after class so I took that as positive sign

Benzinha my dear, this sounds like a heavy load to bear and I am trying to think who you could imagine yourself to be to lighten the load. When I started one of my classes this week there was a moment early on when I simply did not want to be in that class and I thought very hard about running.

You're so right about this Mayb. And in fact, we're better off remaining oursleves then to alter to an image of what other people wants us to be or become. Well spoken there.... quietly!  See ya!

MayB, in the beginning I tried to be someone else and didn't feel

right. It's all we can do, be real and hope for the best. I have another cold, my third in the last six weeks, or a never ending one, not sure which. Just want to sleep for days, but can't as I am SO behind in my work, too many distractions.

My oldest son is to have a baby any minute now. His mother-in-law and his dad are there and I am here with a cold. Let the Pity Party begin. Right after I finish my nap. Going to bed in a minute, to sleep for twelve hours. My business partner in the online (as yet to be FTPd onto the web) store is holding her husband's memorial service tomorrow and I'm am too emotionally drained to go, but must go. Sigh.......

Maybe, I don't want to be myself again. Would like to be someone else this week, someone healthy, with a huge bank account and lots of time on their hands.
