Fifi, so sorry, but I am going to Mother Hen you a little bit! Life is for living - sometimes we will live it too much and other times we will live it not enough, That's how we figure out our own particular balance. Of course you know this but you are usually telling it to someone else, and now it is my turn to remind you. Relax, party when you want, go to bed early - want or need, it doesn't matter, the timing is up to you. Figure out what you NEED to do day to day, and if it isn't anything critical, aka, a Ned or Biba issue, you get to it when you get to it. Nothing wrong with high standards - it is only saying what you can live with and what you can't. Your call. Bottomline - no matter how bad or how well a day goes, the next day is always a new one and you can adjust any way you need. From where I sit, you are doing very well and I bet a bunch of other people think so too! XOXO :)

I think you'd be a fine philosopher, Fifi. You're one of the best philosophers I know, even if it's only through the computer. :)

Hey Fifs. Totally normal! I know a low level of panic very well. I was thinking just today that the practise of adulthood is just what you're talking about - bringing the boat back on course every once in a while as it steers off course. Being an adult is HARD WORK. I understand this now. Recently, so much has happened, work is very busy, and two people I know died in the last two weeks. They were still quite young - in their 50s. Two of them I had quite a bit of interaction with, albeit in the distant past. I was standing at my counter cooking just now and I was thinking: this is it. Everyone goes through the same thing - the build up of stress, the fresh losses, the overwork, the new fears... We're all in the same boat and it's hard work to keep from bobbing about!! You're a master though. Keep at it! Smoochies!! Or should I say "Un abbraccio!" Ciao, bella! :)
