Well, I had texted "ya"...damn one word answer and then he sent me a text about how depressed he is about money and then "when did life become so stressful for everyone?"

I said, "I guess when people lose sight of what really matters...I'm still trying to have gratitude. I gotta run." It was 11pm.

Just now we had heated discussion about money and at one point he said that he knows I'm angry with him but can't I just talk to him (meaning listen and don't express any disagreement). I finally heard Coach's words in my head and I told H to please stop mind reading. Ha, he said "what?" I said, you're mind reading, you don't know what I feel and you really shouldn't assume and if you want to know, just ask." Now, back to the money...

25- that paragraph you wrote is the most succinct, well articulate message I could have sent. I have said similar in pieces but wow that packs a punch. And, I may just have to use it even as an afterthought...

I feel like an ant moving a rubber tree plant...but I've got "high hopes, high hopes, high apple pie in the sky hopes...oops there goes another rubber tree plant." grin
