Talked to Sangeeta today; came to grips with some things that have really bothered me lately. It's going to take more time before I can really deal with them, but talking them out with someone who's really got her feet on the ground and has a lot of experience dealing with unpleasant things in life is extraordinarily helpful.

I'm grateful to have people like her and Yussanne in my life - I'd probably be a lot less wise were it not for them.
