Let me be the first one to say:
Let the Friday Party BEGIN!
So how are you doing this morning, Sweetie?
How did yesterday go? Did you do something nice for yourself?
The Highly Sensitive Person book really changed my own self-perception, but even more importantly, I'm hoping that it changed how I parent. I, too, Beth, have a HS daughter and I hope that I've been able to share a feeling with her that it's wonderful to be the way she is and she needs to learn to care for herself--emotionally and physically. To have insights into the temperaments of our children and to honor those--to CELEBRATE those temperaments--really goes a long way in building healthy self-esteem, I think.
What about you, Doreen. . .have you made any observations about your own kids?
Yepper, there's nothing like some good, deep discussion and a cup of coffee in the early a.m.
Combine that with the fact that it's Friday
and you know I'm feeling fine!
Hope you're doing the same today, Doreen.
About this weekend. . .I think you're right. I better stop and think about what I really need here.
: Hmmm, should I unpack my luggage or hang out at the mall?
You know what I WANT to do, but if I don't do some laundry I'm going to have some severe laundry stress by Monday. Plus, I've got to leave some time on Sunday for getting DD's darn dress for Homecoming. Also, I've got a 6 week class at church I'm going to (40 Days of Purpose, based on the "The Purpose Driven Life") on Sunday and DD has choir late in the afternoon.
What kind of alternate dates have you got?
All right, I'm off to my journal.
Have a gread day--
Erin
Edit: This is what happens: you write too long a post and you forfeit your right to be the first to bring on the Fri. party. Such is life.
