(((((((retro_chick))))))) and (((((((Rohag)))))))

Good morning, retro_chick. May I have the honor of presenting Rohag? I am proud to call him friend. He is wise (Rohag learned most of what he knows from an even wiser dog), and he is generous.

(LeeD, I don't know you very well ... I'm not discounting your advice!! Just happens I know Rohag from past adventures ... Good morning!)

retro_chick, baby steps are good. There are so many things urgently pressing themselves on you to get to get to each one of them first. No wonder you're feeling so overwhelmed.

Rohag's suggestion to slow down and take one thing at a time will help you to hold back the tide that is always poised, ready to sweep you off your feet. Don't let that flood carry you off ... slow down, take plenty of deep breaths, make sure you're taking one aspect of your life at a time to focus on.

I'd probably suggest not evaluating whether your life is worth the bother very often, either. I try not to run that "reality check" more than once a decade!

Seriously.
