A bit skeptical here. Sometimes pushing through pain is the worst thing anyone can do. Sometimes one must learn to accept it and figure out ways to enrich one's life despite the pain. As one who lives with chronic pain, I choose to enrich other parts of my life to compensate for the limitations it places on me and I choose to be grateful for the husband who does what I cannot do.
Hi Billie, I think you're right that it can be a bad idea at times. Even in less serious cases than your own that's surely true. So definitely a further caveat to the idea. 🙂
Much to consider in this thoughtful piece. Thank you Lewis.
Thank you Peter!

Thank you. I didn't want to rain all over what you wrote. I just feel that sometimes it's very difficult to express the complexity of some things.
