When I was in my 20’s, a very wise woman said to me,
Ann, some people are just born sensitive.
While some may be
,
,
,
,
and/or
,
I announce, loud and proud, today, that I was
BORN SENSITIVE.
.
While those of us who are born THAT way, may sometimes think that we are
TOO SENSITIVE,
… is that a helpful thought, really?
Because when I have worries about anybody — human or otherwise — being
TOO SENSITIVE…
… usually, there is nothing to fear.
Thanks to my bf, Michael;* our two cats, Oscar (old/front) and Harley (new/back); John Barry;** sodahead.com;*** Bruce, Garson Kanin;**** Lady Gaga; all creatures born free, again, yesterday, to run, this way, or otherwise; and to you, especially, for reading today.

** The composer of “Born Free” (and many other wonderful things).
*** For the “Born Again” image (I think).
**** The writer of “Born Yesterday” (and many other wonderful things).
You have born a delightful post.
Thank you, Carl! That means a lot.
Born Free…love this movie. 🙂
Good to hear. Thanks for commenting.
When I worked at a hospital I used to sing born free with slightly different words: Born free, my father’s a doctor… it made people smile.
That’s making me smile right now, Diana. Thanks!

So true. Thanks, Clayton!
Enjoy your day, Ann, and thanks for your reply!
Better Days…

I treasure my sensitivity. It’s core to who I am.
Wonderful. Thanks for the comment, Eric.
I am one in the born “too sensitive” category. I have found courage over the years to overcome this but sometimes sensitivity still wins over wisdom.
Thoughtful post.
Thank you, for this much appreciated comment, Elizabeth.
