life is like that. we can only battle or deny the CONDITIONS for so long before we have to take appropriate measures.
hang in there!
Ok, this story strikes a chord with me only because I've had to do this numerous times in relation to camping, LOL! Too bad I'm not yet ready to do this in my relationships in life. Maybe I don't see the threat as so imminent as when my tent was flooding beneath me?
Thank you for this analogy, Anvil.
