It’s a good thing. There. I said it. I should remember to do it more often. If you avoid the conversations, you don’t have to talk about it. You don’t have to remember the pain. Denial is good.
P.S.- I haven’t forgotten Dishy’s lovely gift. I’m going to pre-post something for the weekend.

Hmmmmm…
I’m not big on avoidance; I’d rather tackle the issue and get some kind of resolution. In my experience, avoidance only leads to bottling things up, and when you do that, they eventually reach a point where they can’t be contained anymore and explode. I’d rather defuse things before they reach super-critical.
Yeah, i am a big fan of avoidance too. But it can only work for so long. Then you have to deal with whatever it is you are avoiding. It is usually worse because you have let the bad feelings fester.
I know, I get to deal with something I have been avoiding for months this weekend. Not stoked about it.
Chin up, my love. Things have a way of working themselves out. And no need to do anything with the gift if you don’t want to you. I just thought you deserved it.
Denial can be wonderful. Seriously.
I’m not so great at avoidance or denial. I really want to be, because I think it would be heaven, but then I just break down and deal with whatever the hell needs to be dealt with balls to the wall.
I guess the control freak in me always wins out ;(
I practice avoidance with certain family members; mainly because they cannot do anything but ARGUE until the death that they are always correct. Most others in my life, are open to talking things through (thank Gawd!)
Ummm… not sure what to say…. I’ll come back later and comment, OK. shhheeeewwww….. that was a close one.
