Problems

Needed to deal with a couple of niggling problems today, one of which was entirely of my own making. Then later in the day met an old friend dealing with a major and painful problem of health which is very likely related to stress resulting from an equally major problem in his current circumstances. This both put my very minor concerns into sensible perspective and served as a reminder of how useful such little upsets are in providing a further reminder of our essential, inevitable, vulnerabilities.
