Dear T,
Thanks for being so accepting about that, even if I had apparently told you part of it before. Your comment on how I think of myself as a "bad girl" who deserves to be punished, how I judge myself so much more harshly than I do anyone else--that's spot on. I hope you can help me further work through that. Perhaps that could be my 45th (eek!) birthday gift to myself, to begin viewing myself through less harsh eyes.

What was up with that one example though, with the family friends and their tragedy? Yikes! I know you were trying to put my stuff in perspective, but still...

Love,
LT
