Good morning KD. I hope hubby is over the hump and well on the way to healing. I'm gonna have to look into how you use the word "suggestible"... but, in the meantime, I have some thoughts... 1) I feel like our sensitivities make us what people call empaths. Literally feel each others pain, happiness, etc..
At some point I caught on that just because I felt something didn't mean it was mine. Then I learned it had to do with boundaries: ie: I didn't have any. I had to learn how to tell me apart from thee. Given the many mes, this was/is quite a puzzle. 2) re: "What if" and worst case scenarios: one of the only sermons I remember from my childhood was titled: "What if, the two saddest words in the english language". I might add: the two scariest!! I remember driving home on a dirt road years ago and seeing a neighbors horses running loose. I immediately assumed their house had burned down , or something jsut as horroble.
By the time I got to their house to check it out, I was fried, sweating, in a panic, figuring I was gonna have to deal with hell or something. I was shocked when I came around the bend and all was quiet. So then I figured they had died or or or. By the time I got down the hill to their house and they came out to greet me, like normal, I was just shocked. Oh everything's alright. Oh. What a concept. They'd turned the hoses loose on purpose. Would never have occurred to me.
Boy, did I run to the doc with that one next appointment.!!
There is that level where we do create our world, huh? Good going kd. Have fun sorting it out. I had to laugh at how much me wasn't me after all.... (I much prefer the stripped down model!)
