    Dear guy idling his truck outside my office:

    That truck is really obnoxiously loud. And I'm sure you know that, since you're sitting in it. You're also wasting gas.

    Maybe you should think about someone besides yourself and turn the stinkin truck off, since you've sitting idling for at least 10-15 minutes? I doubt the restaurant patrons (who are closer than I am) are enjoying listening to it either.

    Sincerely,
    Back in the office and cranky.

    Combo of both? The holidays can/are difficult. Add to it the illness of a loved one, it at least triples in difficulty.

    It was a year ago my dad started to get sick. I'm having a difficult time getting out of bed, mornings are the hardest.

    ((((Snap)))). I thought of this the other day and wondered how you were doing with the holidays. I'm so sorry.
    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.

    I think it is tough times, I have more friends and family with terrible health problems than I think I've ever seen at the same time... It may just seem that way...

    I have more friends with serious illnesses these days as well. But I think a large part of it is because me and my immediate friends and family are all getting older. As an example- My daughters (early 30's) were here for thanksgiving and they were remarking that so many of their friends were having babies these days. Meanwhile, none of my age friends are having babies, but many are getting heart bypasses, hip replacements, cancer, etc.
