Go to Tales from the Bush in Quebec
- Add a comment
- Go to 'ROUND HERE
Actually, Dr. JPT, my house is large enough so that we can do
most of what we wish without bothering any other occupants. I go for a 'live and let live' policy for the most part. It's the lady herself who wants to learn how to not get so stressed for little things. She has some work cut out for her, LOL!!!

It is your house and you must let her know how things are done in your house. Many around me try to lead me like that. I do like you, set the pace in my house.

I'm not trying to change her, TAPS. She has decided that she wants
to relax and join those who actually take time to enjoy life instead of always planning ahead...usually negative at that. Dor some reason, she thinks I can help her with that, LOL!

She's a decent person, FSI. Just too stressed out is all.
And she's working on it!

Hope you do get to visit her soon, Pat_B
My Suzie from Detroit is the same. It used to drive me bonkers, then I thought - OK - let her do what she has to do. And I'll do what I want to do. Therein lies the success of me NOT getting stressed. They have to deal with their own emotions.

You have your work cut out for you. It is difficult to change a person from the way they have always been. LOL

You have a way about you, I think they call it kindness, it is beautiful on you and you wear it well.

It is so difficult to wait when you really want to feel settled...I know...but of course with someone like you around, giggles and coffee would certainly win out. LOL

I am sure that she will be able to correct her personality trait of leaping before she looks...Things are coming along with Helen, I see.

That's like the difference between me and my sister.
I can sit and read a book while the spiders put webs in the corners and the dust gathers. But she's snatching your coffee cup the second you set it down and the kitchen is tidy almost before the meal is served. Drives me nuts. Wish I could visit her.
