had spoken to my boss, concerned about the amount of time I spent “gazing out my window”.

Oh Eagle,

I can so relate to this.....I somehow feel that you've lived part of my life. I had the same type of experience at a workplace but didn't have quite as understanding a boss or co-worker and their inability to "listen" led to my resignation. But, in what you've shared and helped me see is the ability to accept WHY it happened and also why I reacted to it the way I did. Thank you so much for this!

I took the Myers-Briggs test about 13 years ago, when I lost my job in a steel mill and then went to work in a dislocated workers center, but also went through the training to be re-employed. At that time, I tested an introvert-extrovert but this is probably because I was coming off 15 years of working in a steel mill with a predominantely male workforce (and having to stand up for my rights..<g>). I'm going to go back and see how I score now and this will give me another avenue to discuss with my counsellor.

I can also relate to your post today about craving solitude and running through things in your mind, as well as soulfully feeling someone else's feelings and hurts. When my hubby & I were conversing over the computer, when we first met, I would totally blow him away when I would ask him why he was pondering something, yet he was 800 miles away. It was just something I felt, definitely not something I could physically see. I could always do that with my youngest son, as well, just "feel" when something was bothering him in his heart.....but he was always my soul-mate as he was growing up. I know that my oldest son always saw that as a threat to him, that I didn't love him as much, and it wasn't something I could explain, but now maybe I can find some words of assurance for him. Thank you again!

Hugs,

Mary
