f.rogers quote ...

this past monday, i had lunch with my friend, tracy. (she has the full 411 on this.) yesterday, she forwarded me the following in an e-mail -

so this quote reminded me of you...

Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. It takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. It takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. It takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.
- Fred Rogers
from "The World According to Mr. Rogers."

thank you, tracy, for thinking of me.
hope others also can appreciate this.
