I love small towns. Especially the people in them. Maybe because I grew up in one & as the daughter of a pastor of a small church where the fishermen would come right to our house from their boats with fresh catches to share with us, they bring back such sweet memories for me.
@TheRealHoarse Pretty little one indeed! Love you being back to leaving the house, Hoarse. We can't keep doing for others. Your life is worth something too. ❤️

If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection that we had to replace with a CD collection that we had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now we need a subscription to listen to music.
The only question that matters. (And if you're the one reading this because you genuinely want help to change your dynamic, probably not talking to you!)
In couples therapy, it's helpful to ask⬇️
Do you want to express yourself, or do you want to understand what's happening *between* you right now?
The 2nd choice requires taking in *new* information.
If you can't take in new information, you'll remain stuck.

Please share. Bayswater/Broadway in #kitsilano#vancouver, saw a dog hit by a car 5pm tonight while walking my dogs. Told the driver to go to Burrard/Broadway emergency but never showed. Midsized brown dog/some spots. If anyone has an update, it would help me sleep tonight.🙏
