Their ways of responding to the world around them are very different than thos people who grow up to feel more comfortable with exploring their senses. The behaviour of people around us teaches us a lot about ourselves, what evokes our own discomfort and what encourages us to be more open with who we are and how we really feel. Getting-in-touch with yourself is a process. <abbr><em>Liara Covert´s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.dreambuilders.com.au/journal/2008/12/22/what-if-you-are-not-waiting-for-anything.html" rel="nofollow">What if you are not waiting for anything?</a></em></abbr> This post reminds me how I have known people to grow up in conservaive family environments where touching is just not done.

After my long Sunday afternoon with the boys, I was able to hug my 13 year old. He use to be very sensitive...now he is finding himself out there in the big world. I will hold onto the Sunday moment for a while until I can sneak another hug in. He is a great kid. He is just a "teen." I was so glad to see you in my comment section this morning. I have so many of my readers that have small children. I think they can relate to a small way to me. The teen years has been tough. Not because I have a wild child, but because of the lack of "need" that my child displays. He doesn't seem to "need" mom moments anymore. That is difficult. I remember thinking when he was small all these thoughts of what I anticipated life would be when he was a teenager. They have all come true. I was not prepared for the silence. I will adapt. I need to stay focused on the young man that he has become.

For me, one of the best things about these Sunday quotes are the comments, and how that really helps to bring it alive for me. @Ellen - I do believe that we can project what our heart says. And, I do feel that in your words, thanks for sharing a bit of your heart here. @CG – Many thanks, I’m really glad you enjoy these.

I once read of a study with rabbits that were overfed to test the effects of obesity. The rabbits developed all sorts of health problems, except for one group. They discovered that the person in charge of that one group of rabbits would hold the rabbits and talk to them as he fed them. So touching and kind words are definitely powerful!

I love the picture too ;) It is so true how touch can make such a difference. I was just watching a show last night about how many problems a person can suffer from as an adult if they were not shown affection or felt loved as a child. Have you ever noticed how when you are at the store or somewhere and you give someone a genuine smile or speak kindly to them, they almost looked shocked? It's because the world has become so paranoid of others. People tend to look past others and don't see the world and the people right next to them. This quote really makes me think. We all need to be a little more human and open. A little love can change the world! I love your Sunday Thought for the Day ;) Lance!
