And I agree about the slightly annoyed/thought-provoking comment. I also understand your point exactly about caring too much. I tend toward that also, although I have become more balanced in the last year. You have to learn to take care of you first sometimes.Amy https://www.blogger.com/profile/15353920822811597411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1397715447752979124.post-19160602982921424292013-07-07T12:38:18.534-04:002013-07-07T12:38:18.534-04:00I haven't ready ANY Neil Gaiman, so I have no ...I haven't ready ANY Neil Gaiman, so I have no prejudices. I am thinking of reading this one because it's getting so much press. Very often books that make me slightly annoyed lead to the most thinking, sometimes even perseverating -- and sometimes it's hard for me to be Zen about those thoughts. My issues often have to do not with those who don't nurture -- but with those who do -- as I do -- often too much. I have had to look deeply into the caregiver side of my personality -- and the personal toll it takes on me. I have had to question whether it is even good for those around me. I used to be so naive about care giving-- care taking. Not so much any more. Seeking balance.wellwell2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15966678098042337023noreply@blogger.com
