Friends in need

Today the 'off the mat' stuff from yesterday is causing me to think some. There's a lot to put down in words and, well, I'm seeing and hearing cases where sometimes its probably best to say nothing than blab about things and have them picked up the wrong way. So for now I think its best if I stay stumm, nada.

Still there's times when I can't help feel for the friends I've got that are going through similar tough times as I am. Each unique in their own way with their own boulders to push up the hill and each struggling with it in their own personal way. I really would like to help but is that in itself adding to their problems by not letting them deal with their own issues in their own time? Sometimes I wonder and today's one of them. I think all you can do sometimes is offer your support, your shoulder to cry on too, and if they take that up then fine, otherwise you have to let them work it out for themselves.

Sometimes it seems a hug of support's all that's needed whilst the proverbial boot up the backside is often what I've needed myself and doesn't go out of place on the odd occassion. Och well. I'm sure things will all come out in the wash.

This detachment thing's really hard to get to grips with.

Sisyphus indeed. That was me :)

But dinner helped, it launched me out of my funk... at least for now.
