Ever feel inadequate? Due to what? Circumstances, other people, your own fears? Which "inadequacy" have you most recently overcome? How?

    All the time.  All of the above I guess. There is so much I don't understand or even comprehend. So much I don't know. I'm not pretty, not popular, not imaginative or creative.  At times too self-indulgent and I guess some of my morals leave something to be desired.  Can't seem to overcome them but the best I can do is just accept them.  I have learned to do a job and do it efficiently, I can cook and clean, and I think I am a pretty good companion.

    You are loved are you not officegirl? You describe yourself in a way that makes me wonder why you don't see yourself as those who love you see you?  You are far more than the image you see in the mirror. They see the beauty within in you. Do you? Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

    But means if I want to continue being loved I have to keep doing the things for which they love me.  And can we ever get enough love?  I always just want more!  Which is not necessarily fair to others or even to me.

    Try beginning a new career path at age 67 and competing for jobs that people 1/3 your age are vying for.

    That will humble anybody.

    Congrats and kudos to you Sharon. Thank you for your reply and  the graphic. I've never had a professional massage. I know I've missed out on bliss. Good luck with the new venture! :) Happy Tuesday! :)

    I have more stomach medications because of this than I ever took in my entire life.    It has been an uphill climb for two years now from school to actually trying to DO this career.

    I sure hope it lives up to and exceeds your best expectations and hopes Sharon and that you never regret the time, effort and money you spent. Just think of all the good you can for people? Thank you for your reply! :).

    That is so nice, Rosie.  Thank you.  It means a LOT.   I really love helping people feel better. That is a joy and the reason I tried to be good at this.   I love everything about it except working for a company.    That makes it a challenge.  They want perfection, so they are always dangling the threat of a mistake over your head.  I hate stress.  Not good for me or my clients.

    I am an inadequate housekeeper and cook.  It isn't for lack of ability, but for lack of desire and sloth.  I'd rather do almost anything than cook and clean the house.

    I would rather do anything than talk on the telephone.  There is no rhyme nor reason, I just hate it.  So, I get it, Spunk.  LOL
