I've also learned a lot from so many of your posts. Thanks for that: )<BR/><BR/>kel-yeah, I am also hoping not to get spit on...or punched for that matter. Thanks for what you shared. Have you felt like you've had to be perfect growing up? Is that part of why it's hard for you to express your negative feelings? Trust me...I too am definitely still learning how to express the negative things I feel in the way I want to. It's a tricky thing.<BR/><BR/>Emily- I'm so glad this post was able to help you out a bit. Those overwhelming days can be so rough. I hope today has been a better day.<BR/><BR/>Emily M.-I love reading your blogs so keep posting your thoughts and feelings. I think it's awesome.<BR/><BR/>Ruthio- I think what you're doing is awesome. I think that is what a lot of the girls at the Juvenile Center need to try. Keep up the good work. I know it's hard to face all of your worries sometimes, but I'm proud of you for working through them. You're awesome; )<BR/><BR/>Karrie- Thanks for the link. I've already gone there and read your posts. It's such a good idea. I think I forget how good it is to have "girl talk" sometimes. I love talking to my husband too and there are things he can offer me conversationally that girls can't but at the same time there is something really neat that happens when you can talk to other girls, especially when you are close to them. thanks for the comments: )vandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572371770958819928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169186168370227108.post-31502752053329080702008-05-16T20:46:00.000-07:002008-05-16T20:46:00.000-07:00You are amazing!

My husband keeps telling me I need to talk more with other women so I can get my thoughts out (not that he doesn't like listening, he just doesn't always know how to respond the way women can during 'girl talk'). So I recently started a blog called "WonderMom Thinks" (www.wondermomthinks.blogspot.com) It is about all the things I randomly feel and think about. It's been really nice to have an outlet (and it's kind of fun to get feedback on it all). I'm hoping it will be a place where all mom's (and women and even guys and dad's) can "wonder" and "think". :)Karriannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848705966158080084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169186168370227108.post-5436905475251289772008-05-16T13:06:00.000-07:002008-05-16T13:06:00.000-07:00I really liked your blog.

I have been taking time lately each day to try to have a time just to work on doing my worrying in a more positive way. I write down my worries and the solutions that I could do instead of my negative way of normally dealing with it. It is helping a lot. It has been a line upon line process and will continue to be. This life is all about growing and learning. Another thing is to talk out your feelings when it is appropriate. I have found this useful too. Expressing ourselves in a healthy way is very good.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05414084885529082877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169186168370227108.post-6102868488934878812008-05-16T08:59:00.000-07:002008-05-16T08:59:00.000-07:00Lots of thoughts have flooded my mind because I to...Lots of thoughts have flooded my mind because I too have thought so much about this the last couple days. Blogging really helps me clear my thoughts and verbalize things. When I don't process my thoughts they get bottled up and I find myself shuting down. Thanks for the reminder to process what we learn and not just let the moments pass us by.emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982038679218026657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169186168370227108.post-71305525328719180782008-05-15T19:34:00.000-07:002008-05-15T19:34:00.000-07:00First I just want to say thank you!

I think when I don't express myself or tell my husband how I'm feeling, it all bottles up and I get overwhelmed! Today was one of those overwhelmed days... I don't know if I just need a break or if I'm really having a problem getting my feelings out! Anyway thanks for the insight!<BR/><BR/>p.s. I didn't know you were working at an correctional facility... Cool and Scary!

What an experience. Hope you don't get spit on. <BR/><BR/>I am still working on being able to express my negative feelings in a healthy way. Because I'm new at it, I think it comes out wrong sometimes, but it's a process, and it frees me to accept the imperfections in life.proudmamabloggahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15738284374326358635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169186168370227108.post-81290824640953015492008-05-14T08:17:00.000-07:002008-05-14T08:17:00.000-07:00Great thoughts Vandi.

I was using my blog as a journal, but I need to start writing in my journal again and digging a little deeper. It makes it so much easier to stay in tune when I take time to look for Heavenly Father's hand in my life at the end of the day. Thanks for the reminder Van!Melissa E Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411039846144444625noreply@blogger.com
