I'm constantly trying to make the small things not "A Thing" but it's hard!! I feel a swelling in my chest when something strikes, however small, and I always visualize it rising, deciding: do I let it croak or not? Glad to know I'm not alone!
I will absolutely contribute $20 to WNM and thank you for this piece. It seems a good skill, to not let it simmer unmentioned into resentments and bring it up without having to talk it all through. Also sweet your daughter caught it and checked on you.

Thank you for your words! Just what I needed to hear. I was at your last Naked Writing Workshop in Bellingham. Hope I can make it again!
