We remove ourselves from the many distractions of the world, by returning home and... often we actually feel we can "let down" because we are "home." ("Home sweet home.") Is not "home" where we feel more able to access and to feel and express our feelings?

((DejaVu)) I am so glad you said that. I thought I was very strange in that I often feel myself not wanting to go home. In fact, I have often this summer stayed at work a little later because...I really don't wanna go home! I thought I was being weird, but thank you for putting in print something I've been dealing with. Now I don't feel so 'weird' (though most who know me know I am weird
)
((David)) I hope you are feeling better. I lost a close friend many years ago to colon cancer. He was only 28 when he died. While I do struggle with a devastating disease called ulcerative colitis, it calls for me to have a colonoscopy every single year for years now. It makes me feel a little safer about this awful disease.
I pray that you have only good reports from now on ((David)).
Bless your heart.
