I have just caught up with all your posts on this thread. Thank you so much for the wonderful comments you made about me. You make me sound more wonderful than I really am. I like me, even love me, but I see myself through different eyes. Long ago I learned that how others view me when I've received feedback is very enlightening. Even though I have great confidence, there is still a scared little girl inside me afraid that I'm not good enough. Keeping that little girl feeling loved takes a lot of work. I use up many spoons on some days. My husband uses up his spoons doing that as well. Fortunately he loves me as I am, and as I'm not.

You are such a special person Mamacita. You are open and wise and able to express who you are eloquently. You and I would be great friends if we were close in geography. We are virtual friends on this connection, as I am with others on here. I hope to meet you one day.

@gailb , we will meet! I understand that volunteer mentors meet with our Director, once per year. I plan to be there! You have been such a great help to me as I try to figure out what I'm supposed to do here. I feel that I probably should talk less, and listen more. Love you all,
Mamacita
