😉 I try MW51. Truthfully I would ‘like’ to hide from feeling guilty about things I don’t need to feel guilty about, but most often just deal with it. Sigh.
I agree with what Marissa wrote, and am glad that at least its Guilt rather than its evil sibling Shame from which you try to hide, my friend. May you forever remain outside of Shame’s ice cold clutches.
You are so talented – its amazing how you are able to convey a feeling or emotion with such a simple sketch – yet I know that the simple things often require the most thought and time!
i’m tempted to yell, “Run, Colleen!” But a sensitive person, as you are, won’t outrun guilt. Spend a little time with it, if warranted, and then send it packing! 🙂
I dislike how guilt overshadows many positive emotions and robs us each day of some part of our joy. I don’t want to be “carefree” but sure wish to be “fancyfree!” (At least once in awhile. . .) 🙂
I am doing my weekend update of the past week. I save and savor your posts which touch me deeply, Colleen.
Thank you so much Robin. I so appreciate you. I get upset about the theivery guilt inflicts as well. I suppose I would rather have it then have none of it. I think it keeps me honest and generous. That may be difficult to explain, but I think it does.
Thank you Robin. I know ‘guilt’ is often something I would love to carry ‘less of’. But I do believe it has it’s place (not being ‘guilty’ of course). At least in this sense.
I think “guilt” shows you have a conscience, Colleen. I said “no” as you were saying it may be difficult to explain but I understand partially what you mean. 🙂
Yup, those times I feel guilty, that’s what it feels like Colleen! ❤

No, guilt shows a conscience. I think I get this analogy to “keeping you honest and generous,” Colleen.
