I think about all of you so much!

Do you find yourself thinking about everyone here and their unique situations?  I do.... :)  You are like a little family to me.

yes, I do, and agree with you whole heartidly....


isitme?

I find myself thinking of you ladies all the time - and everytime I start feeling negative about my FMIL issues, I try to remember the warm fuzzy feeling I get from all of you!

You might not believe this, Isitme (wish you had a different name!!) but I think about you too and try hard to understand what you are going through.

All of you are my lifeboat right now! I'm a little socially awkward, not sure how I come across sometimes. I hope you all know that I care about you and appreciate your thoughts and insights.

I don't find you "socially awkward" Penstamen,  you are seeking answers to your dilemmas, and asking hard questions of yourself and others.  Hard questions raise those hairs on the back of everyone's necks....which others who are seeking can relate to.  Wait until you find a really good solution, then you are going to get the goosebumps to go along with the raised hair sensation, and find yourself "dancing"!

Pen, I think you & I are a lot alike.  I feel socially awkward too, BUT, with me it is mainly because my dil has made me feel this way.  I was always very self confidant, but now I second guess almost everything I do, sometimes even playing out a scene before it happens to make sure I don't say or do the wrong thing.  How did I get this way??

yes, it does tend to take away confidence, self esteem, and then,  I get this surge of energy which dictates to me..."NO YOU DON'T, Don't you dare allow her to destroy who you were", and then I decide, I will not be her victim, even if it's only for a few minutes, then a few minutes more....but I actually have rah rah talks with myself to snap me back into the grove, so I get down and jiggy with it....LOL
