Emotional triggers

I think this just another one of those things that makes you human and a good person. You have compassion and care about the people around you.

So many people don't care about anything these days. :frown1:

People like you make the world a nicer place. :smile:

NJ's right. You are a truly wonderful spirit in the world.

If it makes you feel better, I sometimes get teary eyed at night watching the baby sleeping and praying I am there for her through her adolescence and beyond. Losing my mom at 19 and father at 24, I'm scared of following in their footsteps.

So I know how you feel.

It is wonderful thing to care so very much for people...but never let it get it the way of your enjoyment of them. I suspect that, if the worst should happen and that man passes on while in your employ, he would have left this world feeling loved and appreciated. What more could we want?

And...how the hell can I get on one of your crews! LOL

I hear your need to begin practicing enjoying today. I'm working on that one as well for much the same reason.

Your thoughtful description of the man's physical condition tells me you're already doing a good job of observation and recognition of your feelings. Those are important steps on the road to happiness and fulfillment. I find that admirable.

I definitely think it makes you a nice person. And you help keep the 67 yo guy active where he would otherwise be alone.
