A year ago....
So little change in some ways: House, work, what to do, vacation. So great a change: attempt to marry, fail. An actor in Sacromento, and the fears of war realized completely...we're going to see Afghanistan crumble back to the Taliban, soon, and the violence in Iraq is going to be amazing. As for me, I feel sadderbudweiser, stareyedandport, and sailing on.
Just got back into contact with the ex; glad she's in Colorado, because I still want to make things better for her, which is bound to fail. Was asked the question yesterday why I was attracted to her...good question. Off to work!

First thought:
The first is an idea espoused by Carl Jung. There are problems that are simply unsolvable. You do not need to solve them and as time goes on and you move on, you will gain a new perspective on the problem. As with a storm in a valley, if you climb above it, it will seem less accute. The new vantage point does not change the truth of the storm, but it's immediacy and intensity has changed. This is how we humans manage to adapt as well as we do.
Second thought:
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels
or demons, heaven or hell. The Buddha
Third thought:
I find it hard to tell you
'Cos I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very

In the throes of a situation, it is sometimes difficult to see a path out. It is important to give yourself time and space to heal. In the end, you will find yourself precisely where you need to be in the universe.
You know where to find me if you need me.
Relax.... Don't worry.... Have a homebrew....
Dude, ya need to get out there... have fun, don't sulk & sorrow about the past, look fwd to the good things in the future. You have plenty of friends who worry about you. Burlingame isn't far away from Sunnyvale, let me know anytime ya wanna hang out - movie, bbq, hit the range, grab a bite, whatever & I'll head down there, or meet up with you someplace.
With every ex- of mine, i saw something there which i loved. We all see something beautiful in women, something which grabs you, and holds you, and it doesn't go away easily.
As far as you & your ex- ... ya gotta let it heal. Time will heal all wounds if you let it.
We've all been there. Take it easy & you know how to find me.

I'm hoping you can center and focus and resolve... A lot of these issues are issues you've had for a while...
