It's really interesting too about what you shared about developing the skill of being able to talk about anything with anybody. <br /><br />As a long-time city-dweller I have watched cops tackle some amazing situations over the years, and usually I'm thinking as they are walking toward the person or situation: how are they ever going to work this thing out??!!

There is always, always someon who has it worse than I do.
