It seems to me that if we give of ourselves to a person, we
should do so unconditionally. We shouldn’t expect to get anything back from
them. I still find that difficult. It seems unbalanced and unfair; it’s all
pouring out and no replenishment. There are those who would say that we should train ourselves mentally and spiritually to maintain constant reserves for
self-replenishment, and I suppose we should. I’m just not there yet.

I felt particularly cold while out walking today, even
though the air temperature was a little above freezing, and I realised that
there’s something missing from the weather forecast.
Forecasters used to give predicted temperatures, pure and
simple. And then they started to account for the fact that cold air feels
colder when it’s moving than when it’s still, and so they began to give us the
apparent temperature adjusted for the wind chill factor. Well, it’s also a fact
that cold air feels colder when it’s damp than when it’s dry, so I propose that
the forecasters also offer a damp chill factor. That would give them something
else to get wrong.

I think there are always conditions, sometimes you just have to put your foot down. Ideally yes, we are all unconditional fountains of love but the truth is some take more than their fair share and give nowt.
As you can see Jeff I'm a grumpy sod today ;)
I can beat you, Mel. I'm a grumpy old sod.
Thank you for visiting while you're grumpy. That's a compliment. Haven't forgotten the e-mail.
