Thanks for writing. I appreciate your ...Dear Nancy,<br />Thanks for writing. I appreciate your saying this blog post is excellent advice. What a nice compliment! Richard Lazarus' opinion that emotion is a disturbance surprised me, too. A new emotion is definitely caused by a disturbance of the normal. It reflects a change from the usual. Similar to how a plot in a story is supposed to begin...when there is a big change. Cool how everything blends in together and when you have an "Aha" moment like that, isn't it? <br /><br />Celebrate you<br />Never Give Up<br />Joan Y. EdwardsJoan Y.
