Last week I started bringing extra food to work with me and for the life of me I did not know why I was doing it. What I was thinking is I don't know why I keep so much food with me?
To day something happend at work the guy that I opened up to at work forgot his lunch. Just so happened to ask me if I had anything extra with me to eat? My eyes lit up and something I havnt felt in a long time came to me. I felt needed for the first time in 20 years.
Sometime back my wife at the time told me that I was not a nurturing person. I remember being hurt by those words. The feelings that came with giving him my extra food opened memories of things that I forgot about. For some reason I suppressed myself after getting married and stopped caring about things like this but at the present time the feelings that I got were overwelmingly great.
So any thoughts on this? I would like to hear them.
I feel ya, It amazes me how much of my capacity for compassion I had surpressed.
I feel so... free... to be a nurturer, without someone looking at me sideways wondering what the catch is.
(Editing my post to oblivion...)
Yep, it's nice to be who we are, without having to worry about "what the catch is".
Also, it's nice to experience the giving.
I also had suppressed it for some long time, so I do know.
Bless you honey and enjoy,
