I know how that must have felt being a soccer mom myself! But yes, there are other ways to really show up. I like how you just let her celebrate her goal and shared that great feeling in the aftermath.

As a 72 year old active woman, I have recently been bedridden for over 6 weeks with no end in sight due to double broken ankle and severe osteoporosis. Many friends have called and visited. This is what I noticed/learned: when I “fake” happiness and don’t mention my constant pain and depression, I get call backs and visits. When I tell the truth and basically “complain” about my circumstances, I don’t hear back. After much contemplation, I’ve decided to meditate more and not burden anyone else. I am trying to liberate my comedic self and poke fun at my plight.
