Nobody Has It Easy......

I won't go into a comprehensive list of Adored Wife's issues, but the muscle spasms have been particularly troublesome this week.

Social Hurricane, in addition to the hallucinations and bipolar issues, has been having some workplace headaches with changes in management, personnel, and policy.  She's a little stressed about it.

Basement Artist is a little nervous about upcoming wedding and move to Montreal.  It's a year off but there's a LOT to get done and life as she knows it is going to change drastically.  Also she's trying to learn French, and has had some co-worker "division of labor" issues.

Graphics Magician is dealing with being twelve, with school pressures and social stuff and the general demands of adolescence.

I'm having a busy time at work plus juggling my usual financial troubles, family obligations, and extracurricular projects, and I think the midlife crisis is still going strong..

Our parents are getting older and are having a host of health troubles.  Among the four of them we can list macular degeneration, early dementia, back trouble, and a leaky heart valve, just to name a few things.

My brothers among them can boast of marital troubles, concerns about children, job, economic, and health stress.

Good friends of ours battle with depression, loneliness, the loss of loved ones, unemployment, household troubles, overcommitment, money woes, every health trouble in the book, family strife, legal issues, crime, interpersonal conflict, and worry.

I don't have the slightest doubt that you, friend reader, could make a list of your own.

Let's be good to each other.  No one has it easy.

God bless.
