I think a great d...Thank you for your words Susan.<br /><br />I think a great deal of my problem is not so much being unkind and more not finding time and space which is what you are correctly suggesting. Many people I know are actually unkind to themselves instead but I know that I do not quite go that far. <br /><br />I also know the feeling when kindness you have given isn't reciprocated and you are probably aware that there was someone who not only didn't reciprocate, but also decided to get quite nasty in return. <br /><br />I hope the post-op me is not too different. I perhaps like to accept that it will as you say, enhance my life, rather than change it. You are also right to be excited yourself, I have played this part too for someone else and it is a fantastic experience and a privilege to be there at this time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.<br /><br />See you soon :)<br /><br />Lucy xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525929412485947677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-932201448005197405.post-87913653390431572552015-01-09T11:51:23.697+00:002015-01-09T11:51:23.697+00:00I think the song suggests that learning to love yo...I think the song suggests that learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. But then I doubt they play much Whitney Houston on Planet Rock! But does the same apply to kindness? Almost certainly in my opinion.<br /><br />I've never felt though, Lucy that you were unkind to yourself and I know you're not suggesting that you were. But your concern for others (and believe me I know how it feels to be on the receiving end) perhaps left little time for yourself, as you've written here. Perhaps the most difficult part of showing kindness and concern for others is when that kindness isn't reciprocated. It's always been important to me to try and give back as much as I can as a sign of how much I appreciated what you and Mandy have given in terms of support and friendship.<br /><br />It will be very interesting for me to get to know the post-op Lucy and observe how much it enhances your life. In many ways I feel quite excited by the forthcoming events and only too happy to play my part in them. If it leads to better understanding of your own life and how you live it, then I hope I can be there to see and help you.<br /><br />But for now, take care of yourself, and I look forward to seeing you very soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
