I really struggle with this. Many times I start trying to turn the dagger, and then give up.<br /><br />Jennifer - yes, the way it counteracts ego is sometimes more than I can handle.

Although I've been aware of this for a while, I hadn't been able to articulate it. So, thank you for this, very much. <br /><br />The bats are incredibly cute!Erylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008344023000459577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591166782373724315.post-62925037748722883502011-01-30T13:01:22.986-07:002011-01-30T13:01:22.986-07:00Thank you for your kind words, Claire.

Usually they inspire such connections for me that I go off about those connections instead of telling you how wonderful your words are for me.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7591166782373724315.post-79047583500898416262011-01-30T12:12:21.319-07:002011-01-30T12:12:21.319-07:00I have not much add to this post, polli.
