Funny thing thinking about, writing about anxiety. I see different angles at different times. No surprise, really. That's how anxiety works; that's how our life experience works. Anxiety is part of it. Sure it can be overwhelming, crippling, devastating, even deadly...but then again, it's just part of life too. I don't experience it in a …

Anxiety: Shape Shifter
It ebbs and flows, anxiety. It’s a fluid, dynamic thing. Sometimes it washes over; other times it laps laps laps gently on the shore. It can turn violent in an instant, that’s my experience. Anxiety is a shape shifter; it comes in the darkness, finding its way to your demise. How can it optimize it’s …

Consider Your Socks
I consider my socks often, most work day mornings. Tho’ few people ever see them, my choice each day helps me set the tone. I like fun socks. Consider them. Simple pleasure, last a long time, joy repeated again and again. GOOD.
Insomniac Interlude
Been a year maybe, since this started; since the wheels of divorce started turning, Middle of the night, dreams wake me, clock stares back at me, words pour out.

Lyrics Post: “Jaded”
Conflict, disagreement, irresponsible governance, selfish, disease, war, rebuked love…all (and more) to be jaded by. I refuse to accept these as the last word.

Slog Through
Some days, weeks, longer, Feels like we’re slogging through. Keep a little smile on the face, head down to the grindstone, thankful for what we have, Undertone though? Slogging through, legs heavy, thick on your mind, in the back, Slow go. It’s this very time, each time, to stop the slide, To pause and give …
