So I was doing some journaling last night and I looked back at my notes. I had had a good Christmas but the day after Christmas, I was starting to feel under-resourced -- and this is part of what I wrote:

"I need a sympathetic ear. Some down time, some time to not have any responsibilities. More loving touch."

Isn't that a hoot? I never write or say "sympathetic ear" .....

I'm sure those emotions were a precursor to the ear-ache ....

Makes sense now ....

Guess I'll have to start paying more attention to what I write to myself,
Thanks for sticking with me everyone,
Deb.

Sympathetic ear. Amazing.

You know the answers. Fulfill your needs, Deborah.

How is your ear today?

Thanks for asking Kimberly.

It's improving ever so slowly .... no more pain, thank goodness.

But I still can't hear out of it as there is still swelling of the outer ear. (was middle so it's shifting ....)

I was at a intense Enneagram/spiritual workshop this weekend and it was so weird not being able to hear fully or interact totally. I was in this introverted state the whole weekend. (Actually very good for me ....)

Interesting the ear troubles we've had on this group ....

Hugs,
Deb.

I'm glad to hear it is improving, Deborah. I know that clogged ear feeling is awful. Hope you continue to heal!!
