My personal experience was that it was more a matter of switching from one set of problems to a different set. Changing from one set of manageable problems to another set of manageable problems can be relaxing in an odd sort of way. It’s only been the last few years where the big problem is unmanageable. Must have been coping okay on Saturday, people I didn’t know smiled at me at the grocery. One of the little old Hispanic ladies even asked if I could reach something on the top shelf for her — that hasn’t happened for a while.Report
