Not OK — and that's OK

Sorry to hear about your neighbor. FWIW, you seem EXTREMELY well adjusted to me, based just on your logical, calm and reassuring posts. But I guess everyone feels "not OK" sometimes. Thanks to people like you in this group, and those in my IRL support group, I'm feeling a lot less "not OK" these days than I used to. I hope you stay in remission for at least 20 more years for your sake but also for selfish reasons. I want to still read your sage advice when I've gone from "young old" to "old old."

Thank you for the kind words. ❤️

I agree that everyone can (and should) feel "not OK" sometimes. A little grieving and worry are a normal part of life, as long as they stay in their place and don't push everything else out.

When my spouse is down on herself, I tell her that I'm actually glad she's not perfect, because a perfect person would be too intimidating (or boring) to live with. Give me flawed-but-genuine humans every time.
