wow Hilary, what a wonderful story about your daughter. I think I’ve either seen the documentary you spoke of or there was a piece done stateside about that man.

But your daughter - I’m so happy for her. It’s wonderful when we see we have the power to choose.

Thanks for the tip, Kelley. I will get Regarding Henry to watch next time I am at the video store.

Cool, Jayne, thanks. Puter becomes more and more unreliable but I’m house sitting for my sister next week so I assume I can use the internet there. Will address the meme theme then. Sooo much life, sooo few words.

Tagged you for a meme when your ‘puter’s up to it

Wow. I hope my daughters come to this realisation sooner than later, how freeing.

As for the doco, wish I had seen it! Sounds fantastic. Reminds me a little of my favourite Harrison Ford movie, Regarding Henry.

Thanks Jayne, I was so excited to win and I’ve been doing the victory dance all over the place ever since.

The film was fabulous to watch, Debs, like a rebirth. Very moving. He was, naturally, fascinated with the question of what defines who we are, while it was easier to see as a viewer that who he was shone through much more clearly without the scars of outrageous fortune. And that’s why I put Sarah in the same story because she shed some of those scars too and recognised that she’s lovable regardless. It’s perhaps the scars that can cause us to forget that there’s a real, untainted, perfect being behind the whole thing.

Yes Jeanie. ‘Learning to love yourself, it is the greatest love of all.’ I can remember a time when I thought that all sounded very well but, seriously, you couldn’t go past the love of someone else.

Sure will A-mum. I can’t wait. This old thing is getting more and more frustrating. I’m lovin’ your series.

Shoot me an email when you have your new puter honey. Yours are the last lot of questions to be done, but I’ll wait until you’re up and running.
On my way to work so this is a quickie, I’ll be back later to read the post properly

Isn’t it true - that whole Whitney Houston song.

I have learned in life that you generally get treated how you think you should be - not saying you deserve it, but if you put up with crap people think they can get away with it, if you cherish yourself others too will enjoy the wonder of who you are.

Unfortunately it is so easy to slip into the “please others” routine - and it sort of cycles back to you believing you must be unloveable etc…

What a fascinating story and so interesting to think how he must feel experiencing everything for the first time like a child but with an adult’s mind.

You daughter has had a remarkable journey within herself. I remember reading somewhere that you can’t truly have a relationship with someone else until you feel completely whole, or something like that. It’s so true.

Wow, that’s a powerful journey she’s been on!
Hopefully she’ll be finding her niche in which to invite only those she wants to share her time with now

By the way, congrats on winning the Name That…Thing challenge

Yes, I get what you mean Annie, but of course Christmas in the middle of winter would be exciting for us. The winter solstice is coming here in 11 days, and we just let it go by uncelebrated. I love winter.
