Thank you, Ginger! I will definitely take a look and let you know how it goes.

The process of writing things out is so helpful. I felt kind of bad when I responded to someone and started out empathetic, but I wound up writing about something from my childhood I've never said out loud. Wow. I started with her and ended with me, and that made me feel like I'd done a bait and switch. Am I overthinking? I'm probably not the only perseverator (or was I really just selfish?) I'm only half kidding.

Thanks again. Will follow up. Suzanne

@suzbyrne Suzanne, often times we are listening to someone, of doing the speaking ourselves. And suddenly the tables turn. Something was triggered inside our minds. My husband often does that, as i talk to him about something I find important to say, and he flashes on his childhood or such.At first I would get upset, because to me, that meant my words were just hanging out there, and he wasn't responding to my concern. Eventually, I learned to listen closely, and find out more about what "makes him tick". You never know what will trigger us or the other person to have an insight!
