10 42 pm pdt [ good grief ]
I know I have a great life. I know, as my mother is
fond of reminding, that 95% of the world would love to have my problems.
But they are problems nonetheless. Knowing that others are worse off
doesn't really make them much easier for me to face.
I used to be much more brave than I am. I don't know
when I lost my blundering faith in things "being all right" but I am
working hard to get it back as I type.
