It's...Sorry to see you write of health issues. It's true. You have rarely if ever complained of any. I am not fond of thinking of you suffering. If your basic soundness of body breaks for real, you will see how primary it becomes that you have a suffering body. It is not a secondary thing. I learned this as a child with asthma. After I got my health in my teens I never looked back except when forced to. That was rare. Now I am old and slow. I lay in bed most days running a systems check before anything else and very grateful I don't have to get up right now like I used to.<br /><br />Many people are able to build a discipline of overlooking this suffering as much as possible. I think it is one way to build a gracious response to it. They do it in the understanding that other people cannot be forced into sharing without becoming resentful. On the other hand as far as I and other people who hope they are compassionate are concerned, if you keep your suffering secret, then you are hurting us in the sparing of us. We want to share and hold you. Another way to build a gracious response to your suffering is to understand that you have friends willing to share your burden and hold you and then share with them.<br /><br />Right there... Thank you for letting me know, my friend. I hope some people near you also care. christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4637577035521955477.post-81444268175251405922015-09-06T12:22:13.119-07:002015-09-06T12:22:13.119-07:00Am thinking of moving to the Yukon.
