They don't say thank you and they certainly don't tell you truthfully how they feel about you. Even our closest friends don't take time for those words. Don't push past the first thoughts and feelings of the uncomfortable. <br /><br />I have to say, as someone who more often than not spills her emotions, it is a lonely place when those around you seem reserved, behind ten foot walls. And yet, it is also a gift, I should say...to be able to be so free.

Thanks for continuing the thread here. I am envious of your ability to keep up with the New York Times. I openly admit that it is one of the things I miss most about pre-parenthood, and I'm hoping soon to be able to jump back into the folds. <br />We have to keep asking ourselves these big questions while at the same time enjoying the "little" things (which often aren't so little, really). I'm glad to have found you. Hi Lindsey. Thanks for continuing the thread here. I am envious of your ability to keep up with the New York Times.

I was thinking about your "What don't you do" post (and might write something about that soon) and one of the things I kept coming up with is that I don't thank people enough. I get embarrassed/self conscious. Isn't that ridiculous? A lot of the "what don't you do" things I have come up sort of meld with self-improvement/self-criticism (as in, "what I SHOULD do"). Anyway, this was one of them. Stay tuned. I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately, for whatever reasons (hormones?).
