I thought about what gem of wisdom has changed me. It has to be - The toes you tread on today are on the feet which are on the ends of the legs that hold up the bottom you may have to kiss tomorrow. I still tread on toes but sometimes I think about things first. Peta Hi Sharon and All,

This, too, shall pass. Unfortunately, I'm presently facing a situation (chronic debilitating disease, non-fatal) that will only get worse, which makes me wonder about #2 - but on the other hand, I've learned that people are actually better than I had thought.

Most people just need someone to really listen to them - a trusted friend, family member or member of the clergy… That’s interesting – and one of the conclusions of a somewhat controversial book I read years ago called THE MYTH OF NEUROSIS.
