Quote: "it's like surviving a plane crash. Who wants to go back and talk about it??"
I can relate because I survived a plane crash about 7 years ago - literally - major airline, aborted takeoff, skidded off the runway, plane burst into flames - jumped off the slide (whoopee!!) - fortunately (and miraculously), nobody killed or seriously injured.
You might imagine, I didn't love to fly for a while after that - took some time to get comfortable again. Still have shudders on occasion.
If the WAS feels like that - whew! - all I can say is, that explains a lot.
As usual, Ellie gives it to you straight and true. Or, as she has said to me before, PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE.
So, we keep working the 12 step fish-are-friends program and enjoy each moment we get.
