For the record, letting it go is easier said than done because I spent a lot of last night talking about it with one of my girlfriends. So though I aspire to something larger, I'm still mud wrestling with it all if not the wench that's the center of this all.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989908304433049968.post-78275015514921492602011-03-23T19:31:16.263-07:002011-03-23T19:31:16.263-07:00Yeah Yeah, Buddha and all that! You have taken the...Yeah Yeah, Buddha and all that! You have taken the high road in dealing with this gal so shouldn't feel small that your 'biologically programmed female self' needed a little support from your bloggy friends. <br /><br />I meant to comment on the other post days ago-- but I have been thinking about it-- even had a related uneasy dream. Thanks!! (I have my own silly younger self issues as both the 'girl' friend and the wife-- yes, I cringe)<br /><br />What I was going to say on the girlfriend post in response to 'I have a very high opinion of the quality of my hugs and I pity the fool who doesn't share my opinion.' was that the gal is a fool to not want to be friends with you.<br /><br />And I did know what was really bugging you because it would have bugged me too and did bug as I was reading the girlfriend post. Yes, hubby should be offended on your behalf and behave accordingly. <br /><br />Dr. Phil says men are doofuses and just don't know the nuances of these things and need it spelled out. Which is true in most cases, I think-- some men are disrespectful or malicious but the majority are just big ol' doofuses. <br /><br />I know you are letting it all go for now but I don't mind a bit a smallness so I remain incensed on your behalf. <br /><br />:o)Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989908304433049968.post-9003438330301075742011-03-23T08:21:28.896-07:002011-03-23T08:21:28.896-07:00Lenore,

A small potage keeps my green thumb alive but sometimes it longs for a shovel, compost and flats of seedlings fanned out on the ground. It's at that point I hop in the two seater and head up PCH ;)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989908304433049968.post-25118730507911549992011-03-23T08:16:22.888-07:002011-03-23T08:16:22.888-07:00C,

The only thing more remarkable to me than that is being compassionate with myself has given me the ability to be that way with others.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989908304433049968.post-23765792509829157682011-03-23T08:12:08.682-07:002011-03-23T08:12:08.682-07:00Jeff,

But then I started chanting, and I realized that the problem was not that M had so many friends, that he had his own life. The problem was me not having my own life. The moment I began to look at my life instead of his, I became less lonely, less bitter - I became happy. I am a long way off from achieving your state of mind, but I am getting there.<br /><br />You are such a beautiful person :)Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395529198459662630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6989908304433049968.post-71228446100367518232011-03-22T18:05:08.970-07:002011-03-22T18:05:08.970-07:00Budding bodhisattva - haha!

The way I see it, to grow, all we need do is be honest with where we're at - even when we feel threatened or afraid - and be willing to consider, and act on, another more loving perspective when we have the presence of mind to do so. And from what you've told us, you SO have that down. We all have those times of smallness...until we don't anymore. But really Tracy, you're rockin' who you are and where you're at!Jeff Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911006427597398482noreply@blogger.com
