What you both said got my wheels a-turnin'. Perhaps I need to re-evaluate what my needs actually are. Having come from a neglectful background I am not all the connected to my feelings. Maybe I do need to ask for and expect more attention. But how do I know how much is enough when I don't know that I actually need it?

As for changing habits, argh, it is a constant struggle. When I finally seem to have one habit changed and feel like I can move on to the next one the first one goes back to the way it was. Sigh. Just have to keep at it I guess. I think that when I do slip back into old habits they are not as pronounced as they were before I worked to change them...Yeah that is what I think.

<font color=green>The snow falls on no two trees alike, and the forms it assumes are as various as those of the twigs and leaves which recieve it...so one divine spirit decends alike on all, but bears a peculiar fruit in each--Henry David Thoreau
