People ha...Yes, Ruth you hit the spot for me, too. <br />People have been very generous towards me over the years in their affirmations, yet I've often squirmed, and still have some discomfort. <br />I've come to realize that I mustn't rob them of the joy of affirming, when they feel it in their heart to do it. It is their gift. <br />How blessed it is to also affirm others with a sincere heart. <br />Thank you.Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-80031000870137679652012-06-27T14:58:28.615-04:002012-06-27T14:58:28.615-04:00This post is a shot to the heart to me in so many ...This post is a shot to the heart to me in so many ways. I also experienced those feelings of being criticized as a kid and teen, but now know my mother really loved me and had many good thoughts about me (she is 79, I'm 58). And, unfortunately, now that our roles are reversed and I care for her some, I catch myself criticising, or at least, not affirming. Thank you, Ruth. And there are so nay people and so many ways I could write a little note and lift someone up. I'm going to try to do that.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218916516807680948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-78983722550875217422012-06-27T09:20:45.428-04:002012-06-27T09:20:45.428-04:00Excellent post, Ruth.

Or somehow feel it is inappropriate or even wrong?I'm wondering if as we are able to receive thanks, we are easier able to give it. It's not two separate issues but one.<br />Back to the love your neighbour as yourself commandment. And if we don't love ourselves... <br />DoreneDorene Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096104437581379540noreply@blogger.com
