In my recent foray into the world of child psychology literature I am now up to date with the worn out lingo of the five love languages. I’m probably the last person on the planet to read about these. Do you know your “love language”? What do you register as the greatest acts of love? Are they service, words of affirmation, physical touch, quality time, or gifts?\u00a0 I have learned that my primary love language is words of affirmation. I guess that’s why I don’t allow comments on this blog. A snarky line in a comment would send me reeling for a decade. This also explains my hoarding of every kind email, text, and note anyone has ever sent me.<\/p>\n
Here’s something that you can do for me that will appeal to my need for words of affirmation without you needing to come up with a heartfelt comment. Perhaps you can give me a book recommendation. I’ve had a dry year in reading. If you want to see what I read, I have a list of the books I have read the last few years in my sidebar.<\/p>\n
And remember, if you share a book title, you will really be saying, “Angie, you are so weird, but I like you anyway.”<\/p>\n
I’m shaking. What if no one gives me a book title? I’ll just have to continue slogging through C.S. Lewis. Help!<\/p>\n
Do you feel manipulated?<\/p>\n
