Like butter...

There's a line in the Lord of Rings in which Bilbo tells Gandalf that “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”

This line has been on my mind the last couple of days, it's how I'm feeling right now.

Naming one's feelings is important, else they can overwhelm you.

It's the Rumpelstiltskin effect. ;)

We teach our kids this, and have this feelings wheel stuck on our fridge. It's great, yesterday my son used it too figure out he wasn't angry, he was tired.
