Oh yes! and Happy Mother&#039;s Day</description>

		<description>Davina is a wise one too.

And you, Patricia, have certainly helped me keep accountable for the goals I&#039;ve set.

Thank you from the bottom of my bottomless heart.

		<description>Davina,
Not only for the accountability issue, but also because I have been a lone ranger for so many years, it would be nice to have regular contact with some fresh ideas...two heads are better than one?</description>

		<description>Hi Patricia. I think it&#039;s good to have a support team. And, from a variety of areas of your life: bloggers, friends, colleagues, etc. What&#039;s great is that not only do you support each other, but you also keep each other accountable to the goals you have set.

		<description>Jannie,
Thank you for the nice words...my Buddhist teacher friend always smiles and says the cream rises to the top...

I do believe there is an energy pull one towards another...we are all energy  and some of us sing!</description>

		<description>There will always be personal codes that people go by, I believe learned in the home. And I feel that those with similar codes will gravitate towards each other.  

Th Intenet has someone for everyone and we can pick and choose.  There is a kind of sadness I feel that there is so much hating available on the Net if you want to go that way, sites to fuel negative stuff.  However I think the goodness inherent in us always boils to the top and overall the Internet is a great place to be.  This site near the top!

		<description>Liara,
I think I am working on this, &quot;When a person chooses to gain insight into the messages he sends the world through specific behaviour, then he reaches another milestone.&quot; and not being so rigid with the rules. Thank you for the good comments.  I think this is a good discussion.

Henie,
Isn&#039;t the weight gain awful, when it is so sudden, one just feels un-movable!
I love to write and that is why I blog - some place to put my writing! and it is so much better when there is discussion and feedback on the ideas.  I think this is good exploration material for me as a foment ideas and integrate them
Thank you for your insightful comments.  Glad you are off the meds.

		<description>Hi Patricia...

As everyone has already stated, I too think that we are respomsible for setting our own boundaries.

When it comes to blogging, I think that a lot of it depends on what your blogging focus or goals are.

For me, I write for the love of it...I write for me not the reader. And if a reader likes it and relates, then that is just the bonus for me.

Thank you for writing a very interesting and insightful post!

P.S. BTW, I gained 14 pounds from my meds! I almost fell over when I saw my doctor last! I immediately went off of them and started a new kind...phew! I&#039;ve never weighed over 100 until now...:~)

		<description>Patricia, boundaries are aspects of the self many human beings chose to revise over during their lifetime. Resisting change can make life difficult in some circumstances, and seem to simplify others.  What matters is that a person comes to recognize why he behaves as he does at a given moment.  Is the impetus love or fear? One or the other motivates a person to think and feel.

One perspective is outside influences always shape beliefs.  Rigidity is not always helpful. In fact, rigidity can prevent a person from being truly honest with himself.  When a person chooses to gain insight into the messages he sends the world through specific behaviour, then he reaches another milestone.

		<description>Betsy,
Thank you for your good comments and adding to the discussion.  I am taking this task to heart and looking at how I write - I attempt to be conversational - and not be too personal and yet convey a message that I think others might read and find inspiring.  I am also working to be more free form and have the kind of control over what I write as my whole life I have been following others rules and regulations.  I like your ideas and value your opinions.

Dot,
You really make so vital points here in your comments.  I do have someone breathing down my neck that I need  something like a board of directors or an editor.  I truly don&#039;t want that committee and think I am better at self editing and boundaries in this medium of communications.

Urban Panther,
What I am loving about blogging and writing at this point in my life is that I can set my own boundaries and say what I want. 
I am basically a kind person who wishes to have her words read.
I wish to be in charge.

Vered,
I have had to go through so many hoops in my life, I am working on establishing more control over what I do.  You are very clear about you boundaries and it shows in your posts and your replies - I admire your control and clarity.

Mark,
Before I begin writing each and every post, I spend the time to play one game of Suduko to get my brain energized and then I meditate for about 20 minutes.  I just start typing on the computer and the words flow out.  I tend to write in themed groups using  one concept or idea which right now in intrigued by the Ethics class I just took.  I am the sole editor, but I am dependent on my IT person and she will not let me use pictures or articles that I do not have expressed permission to use. I honor her rules .

I have practiced &quot;do no harm&quot;  for most of my life also and know that I am a kind person . I look forward to reading your article on the subject.  I think I am a good writer and like that I write more conversationally on the blog rather than formally as I was trained.
I am so enjoying the comments and the discussion.  Thank you all - lots to think about and explore</description>
