I find myself thinking along these lines a lot.

I definitely will. Thank you!

Thank you! I am definitely going to experiment with this. I think setting the alarm so I am up for a bit and then try to go back to bed is probably best. It's interesting you have found going to bed normally doesn't seem to work as well. It makes sense actually especially when we may be over exhausted - I know with me that is common and I go right into a coma! :P I am definitely going to play around. Thanks for the help.

Hi there fellow INFJ, HSP and empath Thanks for the dreaming advice, I hope it comes back to me!

Yes I am a highly sensitive person, and have over excitables.

Thank you! Reading up on empath, I find I have ability, but I do not share the classic signs of an empath, mainly the negative effects. Do you have a link to your favorite website that discusses it further? Perhaps on unique empaths that use rationale to evaluate incoming emotional stimulus, instead of just feeling it vicariously?

I'm going to study on this 'empath'. Thank you.

Hope you have a good New Year as well! Don't let differing viewpoints bother you, most times there's no such thing as "right" anyway. There's no reason that everyone must agree on everything. IMO, the important thing is to try and see and understand from differing perspectives and in doing so, gather additional information to help inform your own understandings. It's all just information, there's no reason to become emotionally invested in "winning". I try to keep my goals limited to understanding and being understood, not necessary to convince or be convinced.

I like the way you think. You and I are closer together on our views of society than you realize, primarily because my communication skills are lacking at times.

Yes... but I should know better. Again, sorry.

You are right. I need to calm down. I'll go back and take some of the nastiness out of my posts.

I'm sorry... but, I make no excuses.

You have a beautiful username.

I can be a real jerk. I don't deny it.

:-D

You are completely right.

I completely understand what you mean here, and salute you for articulating it tactfully. Think about the taxpayer and the pharisee. There are lots of pharisees in the congregations, fwiw. Yet, I'm quite uncertain if this has to do with religion entirely.

Your Sanity IS the 'trump'; to your respect for her age. I am fortunate that my brother, (her favorite) tends to her home and shopping almost daily. I therefore am able to keep my contact to once about every ten days to mow the freaking lawn. That has enabled me to compartmentalize her gruffness on the phone and lack of communication while I am there to periodic episodes I liken to visiting a dentist.

Peace to you.

Stay cool. That God loves her means he loves you that much more.

keeping you in my prayers.......Peace!

XD Believe it or not, I rarely curse hahaha When I do, though, I'm generally creative about it haha
