If I wasn't open to comment, I wouldn't post publicly. I am careful what I post, first making certain I can withstand anything anyone would have to say about it. So, I'm with you 100% about allowing time for all the work to marinate us. I have rarely gone in for such intense sessions in such quick succession. But twice now, I've been bad enough to have to consider a trip to Urgent Care or an emergency room - nearly physically ill from the pain. Both times, Stephanie has been able to put me right and I go back to a more reasonable schedule of a couple of times a week. I would put myself at 98% peak well-being today and I won't see her again until Monday. It balances out.<br /><br />@ Kirk ~ I'm sorry, because I can tell you were truly traumatized from losing your pet. I'm an animal lover, too, so I understand and I'm about to write a post about the beloved cats. Your advice is good, Kirk, about not taking on pets you can't commit to with certainty. Alas, I truly can afford to take on some small new ones. I'm OK financially, and likely better than most. I just STEW about it a lot. I shouldn't read the headlines, I should read my bank and retirement account statements and Money magazine.<br /><br />Ha! Bowie. I really do not like him at all, except when he's mincing around with Mick in Dancing in the Streets, and then I absolutely love everything that's wrong with that.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-21076469233324650742009-12-18T13:16:49.745-08:002009-12-18T13:16:49.745-08:00By the way, given the title of your post, shouldn&...By the way, given the title of your post, shouldn't David Bowie be in your ears right now?Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-54524727936175717152009-12-18T13:15:19.223-08:002009-12-18T13:15:19.223-08:00I guess its too late to tell you this, but don'...I guess its too late to tell you this, but don't buy a pet if you're not sure can afford it. Having to give one up for economic reasons can be devastating. We had to give up a dog when I was in the fourth grade, and I've never really gotten over it. I've been reluctant to get pets ever since, although I've had a few. My pet cat I inherited from my mother. I like him a lot, and plan to keep him, but probably would never have taken him in under different circumstances.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-61426074048343065612009-12-18T13:04:22.759-08:002009-12-18T13:04:22.759-08:00fwiw-this is none of my business, and i'm goin...fwiw-this is none of my business, and i'm going to say it anyway. i'll certainly understand if you don't publish this. you've spoken about the body work you have done, with which i am all too familiar. i've had TONS. are you giving yourself time to integrate? i know for myself, the deeper the work, the more time i require to allow it to seep in. this is especially true for me when it surrounds heavy emotional crap (yeah, that's a technical term!)<br />now butting out.rrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457746929116908077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-88111120120622215922009-12-18T10:41:17.231-08:002009-12-18T10:41:17.231-08:00@ Tree ~ Joyous Solstice, my friend.
