nlvr&, it is good to hear you chirping about this morning!

This part struck a chord with me:
" ..... accustomed to thinking their way through life, as opposed to feeling their way along. Instincts and intuitions are discarded along with other vital sensations, that function as our built-in survival guide. Their absence can leave us frantically shooting in the dark, and settling for non-fulfilling relationships, to flee dreadful emptiness that feels worse than most types of pain. "

I have always been praised for my wonderful ability to think through everyone's problems, work issues, etc. I have ignored my "feelings" for most of my life. That is the work I need to do. Recognize and acknowledge my feelings.

Thanks for sharing this...
