what is safety?

[The People]

Safety is both physical and emotional. Various people find this sense of safety by being around people who make them feel safe. Others feel safer when they are alone. Personally we feel most safe when we are alone or with very trustworthy friends who know about us (going for lunch with 2 tomorrow) The difficulty is that re emotional safety we can go from safe to unsafe without warning. Like being caught in a lightning storm while playing golf.

We find that we have felt less safe during dark times since we lost the cats. Especially Two.

As for the difference between feeling and being safe I think the main difference is that over time we can learn to recognize when the unsafe is a feeling rather than a being.

Drat More faces but they still don't work. I was going to do the shades guy in the bottom row or the paper bag.

One thing that may or may not be personal to me is that, other than T and PDoc we cannot tell people when we feel unsafe. Well here as well. But we cannot pick up the phone and call someone or wander over to a fiend when we are in public. We did have a friend once upon a time and when her kids were little we would just show up at her house. If we went straight downstairs to where the kids were she knew it was a bad day.

So I guess we feel safe around kids.
