Hey Wen, I've never posted to you but have been reading along.

Like Walking and others have said, I like your style.

And I agree that stress, fear and apprehension can manifest itself physically in different ways.

I would be worried if you werent sad and nervous about what is going on.

As long as you feel it, let it wash over you and continue to move forward, you will be ok.

It is when we hang onto it that is saps our energy and weighs us down.

How lucky for you that you live in Hawaii. That is high on my bucket list as a place to visit.

As far as your friend, the fact that she is checking his emails indicates that she, too, is wondering. Good on you for not saying anything.

You are doing wonderfully. Keep going.
