Boobs
I find this practice of breast binding = horrific but in a complete opposite to the trends of western society to condition our girls and dress out tweens inappropriately (bras/ tarty clothes etc)both of which I consider to be wrong.
But as the western media jumps onto this practice to champion its reduction (as with genital mutilation in women) - its a shame the media and society doesn't address the really really concerning issue.......Child abuse. More concerning than the practice (of breast binding) is that in 2006 - we still have to protect children from sexual predators and abuse - you would think that when a civilization is that advanced to have computers, email, transport, etc......we don't have the technology/conditioning/higher intelligence to protect our most valuable resource.
Today was a good day - I achieved lots. Had some good counselling resolutions at work - and didn't yell at DennyCrane! Tomorrow is my 10 year anniversary at work (i sound soooo grownup) and Denny is taking me to Lunch to celebrate. He does care. I hope. Still going to hit him up for a payrise (15%) Also tomorrow Morn I am joining a group training/bootcamp thingy with Dean at Kyle Bay - it should be challenging, hurty but fun.
I had a lighbulb moment today - I think when Alywnne died in 1995, although the shock brought me out of the jarrodcoma/haze, i may have adopted a coping mechanism and choose to take on role I did not need to - role of Alwynnes responsibilities and concerns or even what I perceived were her concerns etc. When Gordie was diagnosed with MS last year - it threw me into a coping frenzy. I was supporting him emotionally, physicially, and fiscally to an extend - and whilst I was happy to do it - it do put some stress on me. The point is - I invite stress to take on. But I don't always have to . Yes I can support him like a sister but I don't need to worry about him like a mother. Same with Dad and Lozz&Joe and even Bruce. I need to be primarily concerned with the members of my household. Gunna explore this concept some more.
