Dim is hard, it's a dance, sometimes you turn the dimmer up when appropriate, sometimes down. Just have to let them get where they need to get to in their own time and fashion.
That's a good analogy about the dimmer switch...because, at least in my sitch, it wouldn't be beneficial to go totally dark...but I do need to be dim (but not dim-witted...LOL!) sometimes and not-so-dim other times. It's so confusing. Argh!
But you know, I would not trade places with my W, ever, through this. Hard as it is for us, it's a horror for them. At least we have a clue about what we are doing, or trying to do, ya know?
You know, you're right. That's a good way to look at it on days when I feel sorry for myself. At least, I do have a clear mind (mostly) and know what the heck is going on around me. I can't even imagine what our spouses are going through inside their minds.
And, yes, go you! Say that every hour for the rest of the day...
I love PatientMan's quote about being "awesome" on his posts. I'll keep telling myself, "You go, girl...you are AWESOME!" until I believe it! Lol.
