Wow, that hits close to home. I’ve gotten cranky in my old age and easily frustrated (with associated health effects like high blood pressure and overeating) because whatever I want to do, there’s always something else that needs doing. So I’m either being kept from doing what I enjoy, or the enjoyment of what I’m doing is tainted by guilt for not doing what I’m supposed to be doing. No wonder I’m such a grump.

Thanks. I think I need to try a different way of chopping wood and carrying water.

Dave

Maybe so. And the main reason that it is &#8220;so near-impossible in reality&#8221; could be that we are so busy LOOKING for it that we MISS it when it occurs!</p> Hmmmm. Maybe so. And the main reason that it is “so near-impossible in reality” could be that we are so busy LOOKING for it that we MISS it when it occurs!
