NG I'm glad my rambling was helpful for you smile You are probably right about the transitioning.

I realized today that my LL words of affirmation tank wasn't full enough. I realized it because I was reaching out to a few people to show them some art/projects I'd done recently and felt really good when they comlpimented me afterward. I felt an "oh - that's something I've been missing!" feeling.

Is it odd that WOA is one of my primary LL's and yet for years I was terrible at (and frequently embarrassed by) receiving compliments? So many issues here.
