Between SoberWalker’s thread and this post, apparently ‘control’ is the word of the day. Or certainly the reminder. So thank you both.
I know these teachings will be helpful in the upcoming days, weeks, months specifically, as we are working as a family to assist my elderly parents in making the transition from snowbirds (living part time at homes in 2 states) to selling those and moving into an independent living facility in a 3rd state (fingers crossed near me). And all that entails. Huge life transitions for our family. And so much of it beyond my control. 
If interested, the other thread is here…
And thank you Mandi for this thread. I always take something from it. Love you my friend.
