@MisterE Yes and yes (and some that need our help) and thank you. It’s hard, I was raised on guilt.
@carmahaz Don't take me as a hardass ( too much, anyway ).
It would be nice to quit everything and go somewhere and do something as a good cause. I'm more practically-minded, so I know I can't just leave off and go.
I wish you well in your good causes.
@MisterE the crash and cancer got in our way.
@carmahaz Things that happen need to be put in perspective. Time can do that.
When I say screw guilt, it's because guilt and regrets paralyze us. it sucks.
Good luck on your journey.
@MisterE perspective. I know the walk away could cause great pain to our babies and grand-babies. Then on the other hand it is they I fear for.
@carmahaz Maybe. I'm not talking about causing those that depend on us worry or embarrassment. I am saying that we do what we do, but if consequences happen, we have to be adult and own them. It's called being responsible. It's a choice. Really.
@MisterE Perhaps the problem is we. (Us personally) worried too much about causing our beloveds worry or embarassment. Some things are worth standing up for. If not us who? If not now when?
