It bothers me: This feeling I could do more to show people I love them; I could be more. I am guilt-ridden often. Sometimes, I don’t acknowledge special events. My intentions are great: My niece got engaged! I’ll send the happy couple a gift! But what I really do is: nothing. How did I get here? Carri, Gina, Jen. In the past te...
