There are days when we feel like we need to erect walls around our lives, to prevent the hurt from either seeping in or seeping out. We might have good intentions to prevent others from knowing about our hardships, our challenges. Other times, we feel like we are being attacked from the outside. A coworker seeks to take credit for your hard work, a significant other seems to be ignoring you, a child is finding every chance to question your authority, bills are piling up and you have to work harder just to catch your breath.
