This week, as we were traveling, we had a flat on our camper.....on a busy interstate. He panicked saying, "What am I going to do?" over and over. I talked to calmly, told him to pull into the right lane, take the off ramp, pull into a parking lot. Later he told me thank you for calming him down but it's what we do for each other. I have esophogeal spasms and when they hit I feel as if I can't breathe. He speaks calmly reminding me to breathe through my nose and forget my throat. When two are linked together one can be strong when the other is weak, and vice versa. I think that's one of the great gifts God gives to us in marriage. blessings, marleneStitchinByTheLakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501479854150315011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-17963009810034943532013-09-26T20:20:04.717-06:002013-09-26T20:20:04.717-06:00Beautiful flower and beautiful post.

Oddly the more serious, the better I seem to handle it? Where as using an ATM machine for the first time to deposit money can cause my anxiety to rocket off the charts.<br /><br />I agree we seem to be living in difficult/troubling times. Seeing the bigger picture isn't so easy when you're in the thick of it.<br /><br />Jak at <a href="http://crytonchronicles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Cryton Chronicles</a> & <a href="http://dreamsintheshadeofink.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Dreams in the Shade of Ink</a>Jakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069266783997777691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-63941489387423898402013-09-26T13:25:12.169-06:002013-09-26T13:25:12.169-06:00Beautiful post.

It is true. We can't see the big picture while we are in the muddle of the little picture.
