+++++++++++++++++++

Sometimes your feelings can hurt profoundly.
Yet wouldn't you rather have those painful feelings occasionally than never
having any feelings at all?
Your feelings let you know you're alive.
They tell you, inways that words cannot, who you are.
Through your feelings, you discover what means the most toyou.
With your feelings, you're able to build rich,rewarding relationships.
Feelings can indeed be messy and inconvenient,
yet they'recertainly nothing to be ashamed of.
Without feelings, lifewould be terribly flat and empty.
When a feeling seems to be uncomfortable or even unbearable,
choose to dive more deeply into it.
Somewhere in thereyou'll find something very positive, comforting and affirming.
You feel because you are, and you feel because you care.
Those are things about which you can genuinely feel great.
