When I went to teen dances we had to keep at least 2-3 inches between the boy's body and mine while dancing slow dances- If we didn't the chaperone would come over and separate us.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-79199578287017238262009-10-13T11:20:57.683-05:002009-10-13T11:20:57.683-05:00Hi Jan, You have brought all those things to us al...Hi Jan, You have brought all those things to us also.

Carol, you said that so well. You are the one that got it all going. All of you have enriched my life so much. <br /><br />Chloe, thank you for your kindness. It was difficult going through the therapy, but it sure changed my life in the way that medications could not have done. Therapy also gave me the tools to help myself too. Since therapy I look at my dreams in an entirely different way.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-19788932046563105972009-10-13T10:59:52.994-05:002009-10-13T10:59:52.994-05:00"we all are breathing the same air..we are al..."we all are breathing the same air..we are all connected in some way...even if you don't know it"<br /><br />Solar, That is beautiful, what you just said.

And you gave us this blog to say anything that eners our mind. We're lucky to have you as a friend.<br /><br />Ivy, I think that poem you posted this morning means that we're never really alone, and that there is something interesting to find where we're least likely to look. The way she described the 'precise, dainty feet and long sensitive feelers', also sounds like she finds beauty and meaning in everything. <br /><br />Actually, I'm sure we'll all interpret it in different ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-29000466497651387762009-10-13T10:26:54.955-05:002009-10-13T10:26:54.955-05:00Hi Jan, I think our dreams present of with importa...Hi Jan, I think our dreams present of with important and useful information too. It seems to be the things that really are bothering us, things buried in our subconscious that we're getting ready to deal with, as well as the things that are so deeply buried that we can't tolerate bringing them to our concious mind yet. I agree, there's a wealth of information in those dreams, just waiting to be analyzed and incorporate into our conscious mind, and doing that can change our life.<br /><br />Glad to hear your sore throat is gone Jan. But sorry to hear you had such a bad time going through your therapy (although I realize it was long ago). It's very good to know that you came out of it a happier person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-21641701470449946252009-10-13T09:00:34.740-05:002009-10-13T09:00:34.740-05:00Ivy, love your poems - a good way to start and to ...Ivy, love your poems - a good way to start and to end the day. <br /><br />Carol, I find that when I "journal" it is at a difficult time in my life. I havn't written a book but I have done a lot of journaling. When I was in LR, I went through 2 years of intense counseling and about 2 more of some group work. The counselor was a Jungian analyst and much of the work was around my dreams. She saved my life. When I first started going to see her my work life and personal life were in a shambles. I felt like a failure at everything. I wasn't able to keep anything together. The first 6 months that I started the counseling with her I cried through every sesssion. I had to schedule my sessions after work because I couldn't go back to work afterwards. My face would be red swollen for hours. I was able to put a lot of my past into some perspective after that and not blame myself or anyone else for what had happened. I found that I had buried a lot of stuff and it all came out in my dreams. I had no idea that our dreams held so much information. Since then, when I have dreams I am able to work with them as to what their meaning is to my life at that time.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-42001103940203702322009-10-13T08:45:37.600-05:002009-10-13T08:45:37.600-05:00I woke up without a sore thoat this morning - 1st ...I woke up without a sore thoat this morning - 1st time since Friday. Ah, life is good again. I am going back to work tomorrow. My group of 8 students and I are doing a health fair for Alb public school employees. They have arranged it - we will have a table and do blood pressures and other assessments. Its a good opportunity for students to do some health teaching.

I apologized to you in the dream for my comments about LW - it is interesting because I wanted to write you - I am doing that now and apologize because I read back over older posts and realized that you are friends with her so I feel bad about having said unkind things about her - I hope you will forgive me - I should have realized that you and she became friends. I guess I had missed that post where you said you had dinner at her house with her and her kids. I am sure I can chalk my experiences with her to our very different ways of looking at the world. Any friend of yours, I am sure is a good person.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-14681103670878820412009-10-13T06:57:13.301-05:002009-10-13T06:57:13.301-05:00Hi, Ivy, just getting ready to turn off computer a...Hi, Ivy, just getting ready to turn off computer and leave.

As expected, the college student is too busy for a trip to the vet, so guess who will be doing that today? Treating a sick cat is my least favorite part of cat ownership. It's then I suspect I might not really be "a cat person" at heart.Ivy Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15280286975346056230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-19061380650405108012009-10-13T06:22:48.129-05:002009-10-13T06:22:48.129-05:00You guys have brought me culture and poetry and un...You guys have brought me culture and poetry and understanding and wisdom and friendship....many of the things that were missing in my life. <br /><br />You have made my life much more complete!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-46878499985403204792009-10-13T06:18:20.934-05:002009-10-13T06:18:20.934-05:00And I have learned so much from you guys, while I ...And I have learned so much from you guys, while I sit here on my getting fatter ass.
