I thought maybe the repetition, like thoughts repeating themselves in one's head, might work. <br /><br />Ruth, I agree. Why is it so hard to believe the compliments received from others and so easy to believe the negative thoughts we think up in our own minds?<br /><br />Lisa, thanks. My son hated playing that role as he never liked the movie. But I thought he did a great character study!<br /><br />Ginnie, yes that is horrible. I helped a dear friend out in a nasty situation as well, once. I have never regretted it.<br /><br />Texwisgirl, Ha! Well, I think they are, but I am not quite as comfortable on stage. And no one really asks for me to sing (except my 3 year old) and he will probably grow out of that!<br /><br />Helen, for the heads up. I will check it out!<br /><br />Claudia, Emotional, but I didn't have as much time to work on style the first time. The second attempt is good practice, but still not quite what I wanted. I might even try another form with the help of OSP archives.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-63620293541057358352011-05-19T15:08:21.446-04:002011-05-19T15:08:21.446-04:00very emotional writing margaret and i love the pic...very emotional writing margaret and i love the pictures..nice to meet your famClaudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3074509503476824621.post-28250374411702540802011-05-19T09:57:40.465-04:002011-05-19T09:57:40.465-04:00Hooray ... you're in the Jam!

Nor do I. It really is about power, and how easy it is to believe what is negative about oneself. I say this from the outside, looking in, though I certainly know about believing the negative more easily than the positive. Why is that, I wonder?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
