Your first name of Gracie creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Associating with your own age group often does not hold your interest and you tend to seek the stimulation of minds more mature than yourself. For your interest to be retained you need to be mentally challenged; this was most evident when young and in school. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. Your feelings are easily hurt and so, to protect yourself, you withdraw within the realm of your private thoughts. You tend to be studious, analysing each new idea before accepting it. Because you learn so quickly you have little patience with those whose mental processes are somewhat slower, and you could become supercilious or somewhat "know it all" in your attitude. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature.
