Do you care ??

[Gemme]

Yes and no.

For me, it's healthy to NOT care about some folks and what they say or do, because it may affect me negatively. It's good for me to turn them off inside my head and heart.

For those that I've hugged and laughed with and had my ass smacked good 'n hard by....JULIE!....well, those folks are different. I hear their voices when I read their written words. I hear the inflections and the guffaws and snickers that many of you do not. I see the smile behind the text. Those folks, and their words, mean an awful lot to me.

I prefer to socialize on my own terms. It's difficult for me to spend a lot of time on the phone. Ebon's the same way. He spends all day on it at work and I spend anywhere from one quarter to half my day on it as well. We're just not telephone people.

BUT

That doesn't mean that we don't care. We just care on our own terms, which I think is healthy. We have to draw boundaries and create limits so that we can remain as close to whole as possible in this world of take, take, take.

I kind of got lost in my tangent....
