The Season
It is too early in the tax year for me to be this exhausted and for my brain to turn mush. I haven’t even been working the same hours I was this time last year and yet, I feel twice as tired. Hopefully, this isn’t a sign of what is to come. This year was…

Shared Abyss
Whenever I sit down to write something here I always start questioning why I want to write something, if I am feeling obligated or if I have something to say. I wonder if I should write something general or personal, mundane or exciting, who will read it and if that should somehow inform my choices.…

Emotion Or Passion
In conversation with friends this evening I was talking about my counseling and my one friend asked if I ever got emotional during the sessions. I wasn’t sure how to answer at first, so I tried to get clarification. Did they mean talking about emotional issues? Nope, they meant, did I ever cry during the…

Review: 4 out of 5 Stars*

Green
Envy is a strange emotion. Like any emotion it can get you into trouble if you aren’t careful. Some people live in the land of envy, I’m sure you’ve met one or two of these people before. They see everyone around them as a source of their deficiencies, almost as if they think everyone else’s…

Oddities
We all have strange little habits, ones that we don’t always notice but then when we do, have us asking: Am I the only person who does this? For instance I am conditioned to be polite. I’ll be alone in a room and burp/sneeze/whatever, then excuse myself, to no one (or maybe just to the…
