wildcat, I believe in your quote, talking about what's on your mind helps relieve some stress with it, you're not the only one dealing with it now and we can help share that load, sort of speak. Talking about the joys in your life, you want everyone to know and their feedback just makes you feel so good about yourself, which is really important for us, I love to get that, I think everyone craves that.
What a great quote!!!
I know my husband has issues with his family, but what I learned today is that they are not my issues to deal with, they are his and his familys' problems. I think people like us tend to try and fix everything, and like me, I try and do the same thing. But the way he deals with things and how his family thinks he the best thing since sliced bread, and he can do no wrong, well, I see something different. But all that is his issue, I'm not going to own that anymore, yes I have to deal with him, but I'm not taking ownership of why he chooses not to do things with his family...not my fault.
It's all very interesting how it all connects.
