In fact, people in my family have a very hard time letting each other know when they are having health or other problems, because they don't want to "worry" anybody. It's understandable. Thinking you are a cause of worry to other people carries with it its own stresses. However, the stresses of worrying over others and being a worry to others comes with the territory; it's part of the full catastrophe of being human.

For me, sometimes I think just being able to put things into words, to name them, makes them a little easier for me to handle. On an separate but kinda related note, I continue to get a kick out of the "word verification" words. Today's is "porshaug". Is there any thing you're dealing with that could be named "porshaug"?! Continue to take good care of yourself. Thinking of you. xojhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12737262130746746065noreply@blogger.com
