I count myself lucky that I didn't lose any guitars -- as bad as this has been, losing the guitar I learned on (yes, it's one of the ones I play on stage) would've been even worse. Last week I could hear that other people had been through worse, but wasn't ready to process that when I heard it. Now I'm getting a little perspective. A little.

I'm not very good at figuring out what to ask for when people offer "if there's anything they can do" help ... and even though the offer's out there, I have trouble following through because I'm not good at asking for help. But I'm working on dealing with those issues, and I'll try to remember to ask when I know what I'm asking for. Thanks.
