[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 711475, member: 18958"] Most of you know that I have worked in prisons for the better part of 20 or 25 years. While I am a accustomed to talking with men about the emotional aspects of their lives, and comfortable doing so I do not think that men of my own age, 60 plus, or even men in their 50's would have opened up to me. But that really is not the point I want to make: I was somewhat surprised, in retrospect that these two men did so. The man who I spoke to cross-country commented when we parted:[I] it is so good to talk. [/I] I guess I am saying that I am gratified and it is a confidence booster, as I have been tossing around the idea of returning to work on a private, part-time basis. I have been through so much in these past 4 years, it is good to feel I still "work." [/QUOTE]
