The Brits do (at least in television) seem to talk through situations a little better...or maybe the BBC just has better writing.

Watch BBC to see a culture that demonstrates a much greater capacity to say what they mean. I have always found that the most touching and satisfying moments of my life are those blessed by the company of people willing to be real with me. By the by, that's why I read your blogs, Chris. Al things pass in time. Just keep your keel deep in the water when the storms are blowing..CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285667433095434961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552170607010033527.post-53240214878019110812013-12-03T15:16:31.925-08:002013-12-03T15:16:31.925-08:00I understand.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />Communicating feelings is never easy for me. At least only the happy ones are easy. I don't mind sharing joy, happiness and love. It's hurt, fear and anger that are difficult for me. I do feel better when I do share them. Makes me wonder why I don't do it more often.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892957099696412869noreply@blogger.com
