Great writing Jane to little Jane . Yet very true and in some ways sad . I am sure many offer advice but know one feels the pain we feel inside but us . To ,me you have always been good , yet I know from some of your post ,Part of you hurts . That is something you seem to be dealing with . Hugs and peace to you

What a beautiful love letter to your little self, Jane. It takes us a long time to learn this lesson that we can and always will be our best supporter, doesn't it? It sure took me ages. Decades! I wish my little girl self felt this. I guess all we can do now is to never forget this and move ahead in the safety of knowing this.

Thanks so much Gayle. We can be our best supporter or our worst. I’m learning every day and it took me over 5 decades to realize this.

I appreciate your insight. All we can do is try
