Even the ability to recognize things that are holding us back from a full life brings some freedom. If we're blind to those things there's little hope. (God, open my eyes!)<BR/><BR/>It takes courage and I'm glad you've "put yourself out there."Phyllis Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07091511889201839807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805517514331147214.post-91481809044114860392008-12-09T23:13:00.000-06:002008-12-09T23:13:00.000-06:00True, we all have quirks.

Talking about mine releases the grip they have on me.<BR/><BR/>"The man" has saved me from myself as well as others many times. I am my own worst enemy, and I now realize that.

I'd like to resist the urge to tell you that there *is* a man to save you from yourself, but I just can't. ;) You know the man I mean.<BR/><BR/>I catch myself counting steps and avoiding cracks too, though not too often anymore. I think quirks ARE normal, though - not a reason to feel turndown or rejection.lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844724534003766952noreply@blogger.com
