RE: Tough

Yes, I think about that all the time. I knew you were angry with me. I thought the best thing would be to leave you alone, but that didn't mean I wasn't hoping that you were doing well and that maybe someday you wouldn't be angry with me. I've spent quite a bit of time alone, thinking about my life. We're all our own worst critics. You're terribly hard on yourself sometimes. You should give yourself a break every once in awhile. And I should give myself a break once in awhile. Getting caught up in worries, fears and doubts can make it too easy not to take care of yourself, and you have to do that.

When you say we seemed (past tense) to communicate well, it makes me wonder if you think that won't be the case again. I'll add it to the list of things I wonder about.

Be well.
