Ive benefited from therapy myself and have often thought about going into a caring profession but alas i tear up at the drop of a hat which makes talking about anything having emotion attached with people odd. what is really weird is that its things dealing with happiness, joy, accomplishment or good intentions that make me well up the most. and its only gotten worse as ive aged! eek! haha I personally think that humanity prizes money way too much at the expense of all the stuff that actually brings us more peace, fulfillment and joy in life. we use it as a yardstick for worth which seems like a false construct to me as so few people really say at the moment of death that dang wish i had a few more grand. also have seen how chasing down the green at all costs makes companies less rather than more.

Take mytona for example they pursue money to the point that the game has taken on many unpleasant aspects. I believe in supporting the people and the creativity behind it but the offers arent equal among players which seems wrong. as does structuring it so its not impossible but it is frustratingly hard to play without buying tools to play it. I mean would anyone pay a grand for a board game and or even a video game? esp right off the bat? but buying our way out of frustration in this game adds up that quickly.

if it was more about fair profit and the human equation it seems to me they would charge a modest fee for game and then the offers would all be the same and be between $1-$5 and would augment play rather than be needed to play. people would still buy but wouldnt feel vaguely ripped off all of the time. which is where I am, I truely enjoy this game but i pay $9.99 for the same offer my friend gets for .99 cents. and now ive paid so much to play it i feel like ive wasted it if i get out because i have all these digital things ive purchased. does that make sense?

so now im still playing every day but only with the friends I truely enjoy playing with, such as you, and im cutting way back on spending and the time i devote to it in the hopes i will paint and quilt and craft more again. im hoping my core group of friends will stay with me even if i dont TT as much but still visit and gift daily. But my marathon days of 8 hrs spent combing Darkwood need to be behind me. well maybe not totally as i am addicted. lol but definitely fewer and farther between. haha

sorry got off road there a bit, thanks for listening to me.

I have a daughter too! so blessed in her. shes a step but i dont call her that, I always say she the best present ever and that I got all of the joy without any of the pain. i.e. labor. haha

see you in town! good luck with your seeking and may the CI, tool and winding key gods be generous! 😁🤗
