I like giving and experiencing kindnesses, but I'm happy with the ones that are unspoken (like doing nice things for animals; they don't usually gush in response). Anyway, I found this post very interesting. And I have come to believe that guilt drives just about everything I do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-66954668456538390942007-11-04T21:42:00.000-06:002007-11-04T21:42:00.000-06:00NaBloPoMo is kicking my ass already.

How exciting.<BR/><BR/>In a way, having a blog is like a permanent coffee and cake open house. But no cleaning required. I love that.<BR/><BR/>Mary Alice, I agree: gratitude and acknowledgment are usually happily received.<BR/><BR/>Mad, you are graciousness personified. :)<BR/><BR/>Suz, that twist is my current life goal, across the board.<BR/><BR/>I'd reply individually but I need to go comment on your blogs and write a post. I see the NaBloPoMo challenge, now. It's not writing on my blog, it's keeping up with everything else! LOL<BR/><BR/>In short, it's so good to hear that others "get" how I feel about this, not, actually, that I am surprised with you lot. :)Julie Pipperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169574697104642479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-17617595817182391342007-11-03T21:39:00.000-05:002007-11-03T21:39:00.000-05:00Congratulations on you accolades!

Yup, rumours do spread out here. Happy Birthday.<BR/><BR/>As for this post, well, what can I say? I knew you were away. I never really expected you to be on top of such things while you were away or after. The post? It was funny. Really, truly funny and deserved the award. So I am glad I remembered to nominate you for it. <BR/><BR/>I find it tough to keep up on this kind of award stuff. I used to worry about it all the time--that someone was linking to me or being nice to me or even being mean to me and I just wouldn't notice, or worse, I'd forget that they'd done it. Now I try not to sweat it 'cause that's the thing about kindness: it really doesn't demand acknowledgment back. People like you always pay it forward in spades and, hey, that's what's cool.Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13416585771017767796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-73877302252612528722007-11-03T20:07:00.000-05:002007-11-03T20:07:00.000-05:00Well deserved Julie.Well deserved Julie.flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-43760113281843476892007-11-03T19:55:00.000-05:002007-11-03T19:55:00.000-05:00i loved this. because i too desperately want to v...i loved this. because i too desperately want to value kindness, to support it, and wallow in guilt and shame when i transgress and then often fail - thanks to guilt and shame - to get around to thanking or doing or passing on whatever kindness was in question. so, like blogversary said, thanks for showing it's never too late to say thank you.<BR/><BR/>and you deserved that award.<BR/><BR/>and...is it your birthday? if not, ignore me, i'm daft. if yes, or soon, or recently and i (guilt and shame, guilt and shame...shhhh...off to the corner with you two!) missed it...happy birthday, lovely Julie!Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403701620708365171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-80838419471105811522007-11-03T18:19:00.000-05:002007-11-03T18:19:00.000-05:00Hi Julie,So happy to find you here.

I laugh with a friend who was brought up in Minnesota where the citizens are notoriously modest. She could give you her own kidney and rebuff praise…”ah it was nothing really” she would say. Even if people protest praise in their modesty, I believe they still like to hear it.Mary Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08923591889426758103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-41736458611726058302007-11-03T11:42:00.000-05:002007-11-03T11:42:00.000-05:00I really love how you turned a negative emotion in...I really love how you turned a negative emotion into a positive thing with "I recognized that shame and guilt serve a function: they remind me of what I value and what is valuable, and how to behave well within that."
