Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I did not go to my writing group last night.  I have a scratchy throat and feel dampened by it, and I couldn't trust myself not to ask advice from the other women:  I felt needy.  I usually excuse myself from social interaction when I feel that way.  Because I hog the time and don't feel the better for it.  I have a therapist for when I'm needy, and also a couple of friends I can talk to.  And my husband was sympathetic last night.  I can't decide if my throat tickle is allergies or a cold.  I know it's not worth going to the doctor.  I've just got to weather it out.  And my mood is low because I don't really feel that good.  So I skipped what is normally a group that uplifts, but last night, was not the ticket.  I got to bed early and when I began coughing this morning I slipped a cough drop in my mouth and managed to sleep a bit more.  Some days I'm not fit for company!
