.....that made a big difference as to how you felt about yourself?
When I was a nurse assistant many years and not feeling very good about myself, a nurse named Joy told me I must go to school to become a nurse as I was so good and patients and doctors loved me. I did and have never forgotten her.

I guess I will say it started with my Mom. I was 17 and I was wearing a long white nightgown with little tiny blue flowers on it. I had long blond hair which I was brushing in the mirror. My mother was in the room and she said "You look just like an angel !!!! I have been that angel ever since too !!!! And I passed it on to my daughter and my granddaughter !!! You'd be surprised how a few little positive words can make a hugh difference in someones life and it cost nothing !!!!

It would be my mom. When I was really young she was giving me my "sex talk". Told me that it only takes one time, and that in most cases that is all a guy cares about. So there for I was never involved in sex until after I got married, but divorced 17 years later. Now I can't find a guy that is not just interested in sex and won't cheat. Guess that is why I live alone.

One of the nicest things happened in the 7th grade. The teacher asked the class who they trusted the most and they chose me. I will never forget that. Of course, schools today would not allow such a question.

A boss I had back in the 60's, Dr. Frederick Brown [who had worked with Oppenheimer on the bomb] - I was his secretary and hadn't been out of college long. He pushed me and pushed me and told me I had 'untapped' potential and should go into educational or unemployment research - I later did so thanks to him and built a great career. I have never forgotten him or his belief in me.

A boss of mine who encouraged me not to give up on men . He was a strict catholic so it was not easy for him to talk about my divorces but I listened and did find someone. Married now 2 years.

I can,t remember the words my mother said but her actions made me important.
My husband said " I love you " and that has been the single most enabling influence in my adulthood. I hope you are as luck as I have been.l

My Mother is very critical. I think that had a lot to do with my 3 younger siblings have all passed away. They were seeking her approval but it was unobtainable.

It wasn't a paticular person, but when folks thank me for writing them or doing something for them or their loved ones, it makes me know I'm appreciate and that's a good feeling.
