Again, I appreciate the perspective, Shefly, and it is encouraging. That said, I'm still freaked. I understand most things, including this, are manageable. I just really don't want another thing to manage right now. I feel like that's all I'm doing these days. Sorry for the pity party, but this isn't the only thing on my plate. I feel overwhelmed.
And, yes, I'm already in therapy.
. This will pass; I'm just having a bad week. Or year....
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
