Nurturing

I'm having a real love hate relationship with this thread,lol, I was nurtured for some of my young life, which very MUCH made the human I am, and then I got really NOT nurtured, which very MUCH made me the human I am. I am a nurturer. If there is something, ANYTHING I can do, let me know, and please sit still for the next meal. I am learning to allow myself to be nurtured,as an adult, sweet and scary.

My mother nurtured, I nuture, my daughter...not so much. If nuturing is learned by example, then I am at a loss to say why she does not.

I have a difficult time accepting others being nuturing towards me...maybe I put off that vibe to my daughter....but I see it expressed so little towards others also that I wonder if it is simply her age or she truly doesn't "feel" like people need care and concern.

I have always been sensitive to others needs...their pain and suffering if you will, maybe you have to be able to reach outside of yourself to nurture?

I will be back...

What does "nurturing" mean to you?

Finding ways to help others meet their needs....if they are hungry I feed them, if they need comfort I hug them, if someone needs encouragement I am their biggest cheerleader.

What makes you feel most nurtured?

Time alone, and it is the one thing that my family finds hardest to give me.

How would you like best to be nurtured?

Sometimes the little things are best....hold my hand in the Hospital, just listen when I need to vent.

In what ways do you like to nurture others? Yourself?

Silly I know, but playing BINGO all by myself? Amazing!
