Cathy: I love you, mom! I don't know why I get so defensive and crazy around you. Mom: I know, sweetie. I clipped some newspaper stories on the subject! Here are some magazine articles! Pamphlets from the drugstore! Strategies for stress reduction! Coping skills support groups! Nutrients for mood improvement! And a purse full of cartoons that remind me of us! Cathy: MOM!! Mom: See? You're already speaking in a much quieter voice!
Smother much? lightenup is right – sometimes all one needs is a sympathetic ear. Unfortunately the last of my sympathetic ears dies a couple of years ago and I have not found another one to talk to in person – of course being in isolation has not helped. Sure glad there are sympathetic ears here for me or I might have a little more trouble coping.
Did have a good day yesterday – it was conference day. Sure miss meeting friends in person but virtual is better than nothing just like virtual sympathetic ears . Of course I had trouble sleeping last night with all those new ideas running around in my brain.
I hope everyone is looking forward to a good weekend and lightenup, I hope you find a way to deal with those who are giving you more things to do.
