Was that post being hard on myself?
I was actually thinking of it as being maybe too positive. :)
I know I have many fine and useful qualities. I know that to some people, but by no means all or even most, I am love-able. I find myself love-able. If anything, perhaps a bit too much so. (grin)
I manage to believe that while also believing I'm socially unacceptable. And while these things sound contradictory, I don't think they can be since both things are actually true.
The gift of having two parents who no matter their flaws loved me very very much and let me know it in their own ways.
And I know that I am so blessed. The things I am grateful for would fill a book. Sometimes it just astonishes me. I can't say it was this grand plan. I met my husband in my junior year of high school, started dating him as a senior, and have been with him since. The fact that it has proved such a felicitous choice was purely chance. Although my therapist assures me I have an uncanny skill for finding what I need.
