First time my "xanga Subs" folder has had anything in it in a while...

Thank you, by the way; it's not often I have to consult a dictionary anymore. Alexithymia set me running though.

Oh sweet Jen. I miss you. Fo sho.

But I must admit...your title made me laugh. I had a client come in who I've been working with for about 8 months now who refuses to discuss feelings most of the time. She brought me a print out on alexithymia a couple weeks ago to try and get out of working on some feelings related homework.

There's a guy in my small group at church who writes the most beautiful and provocative songs to sing and play with his guitar. And the other night it made me think about you. And I smiled. Things may never be like they once were...but I'm too much of a stubborn optimist to believe that now is the best it's ever going to be.

A verse you shared with me one time- has echoed through my heart now for many years. "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."

You always were, are, and will be my favorite Jen, little nugget. ;)
