> Starting a business is stressful, especially taking over someone else's business. It's harder. You didn't get a clean slate. Be kind and gentle. The work you put into your business to get it up and running is HARD HARD WORK.
The lady who came over yesterday kept telling me not to worry, not to worry - but she'd been doing it for 40 years before she sold us her business. She could tell one type of glass from another with a single glance, where I'm having to scramble to find a reference book.

> I think what your therapist is trying to tell you is to acknowledge the pain --- be with it to try to understand where the feelings are coming from. Sometimes we push the feelings aside or below or bury them. Personally, I like to wallow in them, throwing myself a good old-fashion pitty party.I keep thinking that I'm being silly to feel like crying, but maybe that's exactly what I need. Some tears have been leaking out here and there, triggered by things that perhaps wouldn't otherwise. I need to let those tears fall unchecked and not try to hold them back.
