Journal Entry for July 24, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Some ramblings from me based on my own needs, just because.  They can apply to any of us.  Enjoy:

The need for emotional support. The need to be heard by  others and to be responded to with respect and acceptanceThe need to have my own view, even if others have a different view. The need to have my feelings and experience acknowledged as real. The need to receive a sincere apology for any jokes or actions I find offensive. You know the kind I mean, "you're too fat, hey I'm only joking" that kind The need for clear, honest and informative answers to questions about what affects me. The need to for freedom from accusation, interrogation and blame. The need to live free from criticism and judgment. The need to have my work and my interests respected. The need for encouragement. The need for freedom from emotional and physical threat. The need for freedom from from angry outburst and rage. The need for freedom from labels which devalue me.The need to be respectfully asked rather than ordered.The need to have my final decisions accepted.I am sure in a writing mood today huh.  Love N Laughter Karasal

    Hi there and thanks for sharing, it's amazing how many needs we have and most are just taken for granted. So pleased that you are feeling good and you write all you want! I love food too by the way, can't help it. Have fun with Rilee too, a little 4 week old, I bet she's cute. Take care x

    I love the way you sign off. As for your ramblings, they sound alot like core values. Remember my journal about integrity? This is you recognizing your core values and by doing so, you will learn to accept no less. Good job.

    I agree also. Some people are just rude and think of themselves only.

    And we all need to be needed. I agree there are times people can be rude. And I always make sure if I have been offended that I don't offend back. Our flesh can at times override our thinking and we open mouth and insert foot sometimes both feet. Be Blessed and let Jesus do the rest!
