David,

Your response about becoming an expert in coping made me think - yes, unfortunetly, we have this unwanted opportunity to become coping experts.

On the other hand, it's a goal worth keeping in mind. Trying to turn anxiety into a focus for improved coping.

Not sure I am expressing this quite right, but when I read it, it struck me as very important. In the past I've mentioned, you never know when a particular response might help someone else.

Thank you,
Laottie
