how am i really doing...i can turn myself on to some degree...this site usually turns me on...i like writing...its like getting into a good social group or meeting the right person...that lifts me up. if i speak to my mother or my daughter..people i know who care about me and who listen, that lifts me up. i try to do the same thing through prayer ocassionally, but thats not always so easy. sometimes exercise will perk me up if i have the energy to get into it.
i also spent time writing papers at school years ago on a great variety of topics where one has to look at all aspects of a problem, so i tend to evaluate the pro and cons, hopefully in an objective manner..i have taken a variety of liberal arts and social science courses and so look at myself through those filters. i have experienced life in a variety of ways, gone through deaths, counselling and religious institutions. i have failed at many jobs around the world and succeeded at a few....so my glass can either look half empty or half full, depending on my particular mood.
lifes a journey. i continue my trip along the rocky road. i hope to find the ocassional peaceful oasis where i can rest my tired body.
thanks for writing...take care
