Pep, you just gave me the emotional word picture I needed! That would me ~me~. BTW, I learn much better with word pictures so I am hoping this one in my noggin will help me with self control, something I am desperately short on. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I love word pictures ... I am very much a visual learner. How about you?

I am both a learn by doing and visual learning. I do not ~hear~ things correctly. My emotional processing seems to get in the way. Visual gives me concrete evidence to back up what I am hearing.

YES thank you too, Pep-- I am SOOOOO guilty of this -- and I always wind up in the GUTTER crying and more hurt and stressed out AFTER all the pinball.. LOL....

There was another GREAT phrase I heard somewhere and I cannot remember EXACTLY how it went-- it totally opened my eyes to another bad habit - when someone says "oh boy I feel so hurt because bla bla" then the other person says "OH WELL I FEEL 100 TIMES WORSE BECAUSE..." Thus wiping out the other's concerns because yours are "more severe" or what have you. Darnit I hate my memory!


NO LONGER "BW"! I am "RD" - RESURRECTED DIVA ! 33 years young-LIVING LIFE AGAIN WITH OR WITHOUT MY HUSBAND DARNIT! Married 5 years-3 children 15, 12 & 10 Dday- July 03 / OC- born January 04 Reconciling? We WERE but I woke up one day and didn't love him anymore...
