In the Beginning...

August 3, 2003 10:31 PM posted by kerri : track it (1)

This week's topic is to honor the arrival of Elizabeth Leilani, Roni's daughter (08/01/03).

What is something you wish you had either known or been able to do since birth? How do you think your life would be different now if you had this knowledge or ability from the get-go?

Flip this question around to tell how this lack of insight has caused difficulties for you, or just made things interesting.

I've been reading for a while but this is the first topic I've replied to. My answer's here.

It's up and I don't have an anchor for it because my archives have decided not to like that entry...

"It's hard to answer this... I guess I really would have liked to understand, all along, that I am a fully capable person who would be OK no matter what. Maybe if I'd realized that early on, then I wouldn't have viewed the future with such fear and trepidation for all those years. Maybe then I wouldn't have let myself be stuck and feel so unsafe for so much of my youth."

My rather disconnected response is up here.

Oops! I just realized I commented on, and trackbacked the wrong entry. The above was supposed to be a comment on the "aging" entry. Sorry about that.

And my belated responses to the last two topics are here & here.
