I agree about the assumptions. I'll add to that not to invent things that aren't there either. I've been guilty of both and only ended up causing myself temporary grief, which is the last thing I need to do to myself right now.
Very hard not to read into what little we do get (and assume the very worst), but it's just not worth it if you makes you crazy. Unfortunately, that's what we do naturally. It feels like doom is coming and we want to work on it somehow...to do something.
