I never went back!! I thought I would live fast and die young as the saying goes, I certainly lived hard before I finally settled down enough to appreciate the great gifts I have. I think life is change, and few of us see the course we will take, I still look around when people introduce me as an artist to see who they are talking about. I still don't feel grown up or comfortable in this new skin!debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08943411721370422914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-29645851248826510362009-03-17T19:44:00.000-05:002009-03-17T19:44:00.000-05:00Well said, there's always room for change or growt...Well said, there's always room for change or growth, no matter how old you are!A Free Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01038930031019179647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-65954659961881499982009-03-17T18:03:00.000-05:002009-03-17T18:03:00.000-05:00You're a shapeshifter-there now someone called you...You're a shapeshifter-there now someone called you something else.- I guess you have different skills to cope with different situations.<BR/>I know that I try to work on minimizing my weaker traits and maximizing my stonger traits but I think there's a danger of losing some of your spark when you do that.-Life is a challenge.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17955054342034509500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-9849083580826391882009-03-16T20:13:00.000-05:002009-03-16T20:13:00.000-05:00The wisdom of age is NOT overrated!I'm 78 and I'm ...The wisdom of age is NOT overrated!<BR/>I'm 78 and I'm VERY wise!

I am not on Facebook; I have a Twitter thing but only really used it for one day.<BR/><BR/>I can relate to your fear of dementia or alzheimers or whatever descriptions are appropriate. I watched my grandmother decline from a vibrant, intelligent hardworking woman to a frail and fragile woman, unable to recall much of her life, lost in what was left of her consciousness. She lingered for years like that, frustrated, angry and confused. Her quiet, painless death was a blessing. <BR/><BR/>I think that radiating calm can be quite a compliment, especially in your line of work.Judhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079097345536803291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-7272023969922732012009-03-16T08:12:00.000-05:002009-03-16T08:12:00.000-05:00How true that is - our personalities are not linea...How true that is - our personalities are not linear, we embody several at any one time. <BR/><BR/>If your patient says you radiate calm, then you do - when you are in that persona. As a therapist, in that moment, doing that job. As a therapist you <I>are</I> calm, because you are confident, skilled, devoted to helping that one person, and you believe in what you are doing. There is not much stress there for you.<BR/><BR/>When you are at home with your family you are pulled in different directions, and may feel you are about to lose control. In that persona, you may well be intense or frazzled or even panicky.<BR/><BR/>When you are creating, you are an artist. <BR/><BR/>And writing all that has helped me to clarify it for myself. Thank you! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29541387.post-4739918542629155232009-03-16T00:25:00.000-05:002009-03-16T00:25:00.000-05:00Excellent!
