It's a good one. If you can keep it in mind, you'll go pretty far and be pretty happy, I think. I'm not always the best at it.

Yeah. I'm not great at it either, but I'm better than I used to be? It took me a while to figure that one out, I think.

:P I suppose.

No, I know you're right. It's a work in progress still, I think. Dropping the self-recrimination and guilt is harder than it makes it sound. And--it's hard for me to take praise or credit or whatever about it. If that makes sense. But I'm working on it.

Fair enough!

No, I get that. And believe me, I know how hard it is. You do remember what family I'm part of, right? We all have our moments of self-recrimination. Or decades.

Re: Fair enough!

Heh, I do. You have a point.
