Family reflections

I've spent some time recently reflecting upon my life and where I fit (or not) within my extended family. It's been quite a revelation and I've come to realise what a profound impact it has had upon me and how I behave and react in general to those around me both in my social life and my professional life. Doing the work I do requires (mandated or not) some element of personal therapy. Working with people on an emotional level can be very challenging indeed, and not in ways I'd expected. It's an ongoing journey I'm taking at the moment and I'm feeling stronger daily as a result. Being the youngest in my family, I'm coming to terms with the loneliness I've felt in that position. The frustration and anger are now apparent and certainly make more sense.
I feel so pleased to see a comment from an old blogging friend on my blog from yesterday. I love to see feedback. It's an encouragement to write more.
