Thank you so much for your words and I agree.

So many times I've wanted to share specifics in regards to healing for example...to have my own "joy" diminished when others weren't in the place to hear them.

It wasn't my fault for wanting to share. However, it wasn't their fault either for not "getting it" or not even wanting to hear me at the time and due to their own "place". It just was.

I guess that gets into the dynamics of relationships and communications...personal desires, expectations, and capabilities/limitations...knowing in the end we can only "control" our own actions, then feelings.

We can only share as we feel led to, or care to. From there we have to know that some will relate in response, share opposing responses, or not care to even hear us maybe. It's a huge risk that can leave us feeling quite vulnerable. I guess we need to do a self-check to make sure that we're in the place to receive the response, or lack thereof, that might be given. It can be very tough when we're feeling joyful, yes? It's hard to think that joy is a vulnerability, but when struggling, it might be a huge one.

I do hope when I share my joy that others would keep their responses supportive of the same...possibly allowing for peace and healing for all involved.
