In reality I'm finding the fact that my wife is being nice as being somewhat frightening.  It could be the calm before the storm, yes.  It could be that I have, by necessity, emotionally detached...

My wife has chosen to confuse the hell out of me by being kind, sweet, loving, and getting a LOT of work done around the house.  I, as a result, have very little to bitch about.  Yes, she is still...

Okay, so this is a JOURNAL, which means I get to talk about my life and WHATEVER happens to be happening in it.  What's happening is that I'm trying to take up writing again.  A while ago I asked...

Yes, I know.  I haven't been around much.  My boss came into my office a month or so ago and we had the big talk.  She vowed to try to help me get myself together, and, by-dingies, it's...

There is a phrase so popular that it has become almost a cliche -- remain true to ourselves. It is a good phrase, and caries with it lot of good feedback if followed. Nonetheless, the phrase does...

I just watched a video by Louise Hay and I'm going to be trying positive self talk for a while.  Me and myself get along okay, but I certainly think that there is some room for improvement.  My...

I just re-read the TOS regarding religion. 6. Religion: DailyStrength has no religious affiliation. However, we believe that religion can play an important role in helping people overcome their...

Well, I'm in a good mood today.  Very relaxed.  Kind of Zen / Gandhi-like. I have no good reason to account for this raise in mood levels.  If I were to trace my thoughts, it might go back to...

My mood of late has been frighteningly bad.  There is a new sense of disparity and lack of optimism about my future ever improving that is now present that has not been present in the past. Part of...

I've finally moved my mood back to the green zone.  Although I'm on the lower end of "good", good seems to be where I am.  I am, at least, as good as I can be considering the longterm sense of...

I want to sincerely thank everyone for the responses to my last journal entry.  I am going to try to go the way of compromise, but I'm not sure how amenable she will be to that.  I've been on DS...

But don't you understand?  Passion doesn't always count. My brother was very passionate about everything when I was growing up.  We always had to take certain routes in the car.  It didn't matter...

My mood is still sucky, and to be honest I'm having a little trouble identifying why.  When my shrink asked me the other day I told him that I have been working for 27 years in the same building,...

It's been a week since my last entry.  I've become addicted to playing Oblivion on the XBox.  It's a dangerous game, in that it doesn't seem to have an end. I've surviving at work, and I'm kinda...

Not too much to say.  Saturday I sat around like a slug, but on Sunday I got the bathroom cleaned up, washed my clothes, and THEN sat around like a slug.  We watched two DVDs: Juno and Across the...
