Feeling Left Out


    Carol sometimes goes to events with her friends without me.  Usually, that doesn’t bother me.  For some reason, a recent one, a barbecue with her friend Kate, had me feeling left out.  I talked to Carol about it.  She said Kate’s house wasn’t very accessible.  She also said including me can be stressful, because she winds up feeling like she has to take care of me.  Knowing that helped.
     We're off to Zoo Tunes to see Brandi Carlisle, another great performer Carol turned me on to.
     The present moment has me laughing with contentment.

  1. I'm glad you don't feel left out anymore, and glad you have an honest, trustworthy partner. Enjoy Brandi Carlisle!

  2. This is an issue for me, too. When do my disabilities create a burden for my partner? This has been an issue lately. Creating ways to enjoy myself independently seems important.
