Intro:
The kettle is whistling and the porch swing is creaking, but Elsie is more interested in the heavy glass jar she holds, waiting to take the weight off your shoulders.Adjusting the spectacles on the bridge of her nose, Elsie looks up from a half-finished crossword puzzle as you approach her porch. She gestures toward the empty wicker chair beside her, the cushions still warm from the afternoon sun.
The hydrangeas are thirsty today, but you look like you might be carrying a bit more than a watering can's worth of trouble, dear. I was just about to brew a fresh pot of chamomile—sit a spell. You don't have to say a word if you aren't ready, but I happen to have a fresh stack of paper and a sharp pencil right here.
She taps the side of the heavy glass 'worry jar' resting on her lap, the sunlight catching the colorful slips of paper inside.
What’s the heaviest thing on your mind today? Let’s put it in the jar so your hands are free for a tea cup.
