Vet, sometimes taking the time to reflect is good for the sole. I'm sure you also know that keeping things bottled up inside may lead one in the wrong direction. It is good to listen and think, or digest what others have put out there. It is also good to let it out, express those thoughts that are brewing in the back of your mind. Writing it down and/or sharing your thoughts with others is a healthy outlet. It's almost like talking to your dog, except here you might get some feedback. And, just like your dog, we won't judge you. That can be useful too.
