In reply to tenderness, posted by annierose on May 5, 2007, at 22:22:09
I love those ah-hah moments. :)
I confess I had to think about tenderness for a very long time. Try to think where it's been in my life, or if I show it. And I don't think I'm done with thinking.
I think if I try hard enough I can think of times. But it's tough. I don't think I'm a very tender person. I don't think my parents, or even my grandparents, were. I don't mean that in a bad way, exactly. My father teased to show affection. My grandmother was a very no nonsense sensible woman.
I think I can possibly think of times when my therapist has been tender, although normally I think of tenderness as being outside his repertoire.
I wonder why the idea makes me feel a bit uncomfortable. I think I'll have to think on tenderness more.
