Re: Caring4Corny
@Corny you did not come across as being obsessed with money at all.
I love giving too ... particularly if I find something at random times that I know someone will find useful or has a particular need for and I do feel chuffed when I know the gift is loved and/ or appreciated. I am not so fond of giving for the sake of giving (ie Christmas presents), yet I love Kris Kringle's (particularly if there is a funny theme, a low $$ limit or must be an op shop find rule).

Re: Caring4Corny
@Corny Simply put, I think that my self value started to improve when I started to take tangible steps to take control of the things that I could (the clutter, my gardening clothes) and along the way I started to work through the harder things. In the mix was evidence that some of the things I had to say made a tangible difference in the lives of others. Having a voice that was heard and that what I said mattered ...
