No good deed goes unpunished!

 No good deed goes unpunished!
I've heard this said too may times,usually directed at me.
Once again I find myself facing such a conundrum.
The details do not matter here.
The facts are that I offered to help some one out with something and it has turned out to be a bit overwhelming for me.
In fact, it's possibly the biggest stress point in my life right now.
This morning, on this How Am I Doin' Friday, I chose to bite the bullet and begin tackling this situation. 
I never expected things to go south from there, however that is exactly what happened. 
What was stressful and overwhelming when I left the house early this morning quickly deteriorated to unbelievably frustrating and soul crushing.
Eventually , I came to the inevitable conclusion that the best course of action for me today would be to walk away and start again fresh in the morning.
I did not quit. I just put it down for now.
It's Friday. 
That means Shabbat dinner with the family.
Tonight is a "special" Shabbat dinner in that we will gather with my brother's family to celebrate Susan's and my niece Zoe's birthdays this Sunday.
So my choices were, continue frustrating myself and grow increasingly upset or put it aside and turn my attentions towards preparing for this "special" dinner.
Seems like a no brainer to me.
As for the other situation........I can resume that escapade in the morning!
Shabbat Shalom!
