Mmmm. Bridget, I’ve never been easy to like, love, or live with. I can believe in change, but since I was a kid, I felt I was placed diagonally into a parallel universe. Certainly, in old age, I’m more agreeable, not likable.

What you’ve suggested for ways to improve oneself is first, for people wishing to be included. Not wishing to be included in other peoples’ lives or their vicinity is a real thing, not always an issue. That said, My wife tells me I’ve benefitted from following you and making what small changes I can. Thank you.
