It does sound like God worked everything out for good, Jemian. Lots of good out of the trip, and congrats on being cancer-free for five years!

There definitely are people to keep at arm’s length. We have a number of them in our extended family. We keep them very well extended....so far that we stay away.

That personality that feels compelled to help whenever there is a problem is interesting. My daughter has been dealing with that. It’s a bit of a compulsion. When someone has a problem, she feels like she’s got to do something to either fix the problem, or make the person feel better.

It’s a very unselfish and sweet personality trait, but sometimes I have to talk her out of her taking on someone else’s issues - she has a hard time letting God take over.

Has anyone considered that it’s part of OCD? She doesn’t have the hand-washing, door-locking type, but does feel like the onus is on her if someone has a problem. I think it’s a certain type of OCD. Hear a problem....must act....must fix problem now. That’s her.

Nice to see you Guenevere!
