And, after I spent some time working through this issue, I never had a problem expressing both of them and explaining why there was a difference. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you deal with this conflict.Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20552696.post-85220043007723252312009-02-04T14:46:00.000-06:002009-02-04T14:46:00.000-06:00A lot of issues have details that don't make thems...A lot of issues have details that don't make themselves fully felt until they affect you personally. The fact that you are aware of the conflict between your ideals and your feelings means you're still the good person you're trying to be, and most likely not a hypocrite.<BR/><BR/>It's also not hypocritical to change your opinion if necessary.<BR/><BR/>Whatever it is, I'm sending you good wishes Judy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16104489530177728125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20552696.post-92174561692089095892009-02-04T11:47:00.000-06:002009-02-04T11:47:00.000-06:00I think you have to take time to peel back the lay...I think you have to take time to peel back the layers. I know there is probably more than one layer of issue here... Also..need to think how vulnerable you want to make yourself...

When we are faced with a situation we see sides of the issue that we didn't see before. After dealing with my mother and her care I see a lot of aspects of eldercare that I didn't see before. Hang in there.Twisted Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711708486487502455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20552696.post-5537619953303075132009-02-03T22:51:00.000-06:002009-02-03T22:51:00.000-06:00Interesting.

Because even though I try hard not to, I catch myself. Not that this has anything to do with what you might be going through but it makes me think of things from my perspective...Thanks! :)Torinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992090842674056507noreply@blogger.com
