I posted this for someone else, but now I’m reposting it for me … because, sometimes I need the reminder, too:
Life is an endless journey, like a broad highway that extends infinitely into the distance. The mind provides a vehicle to travel on that road. The journey consists of constant ups and downs, [...]
Here’s a question to ponder: when you’re in your 40s, but you’d still like to be a parent someday, do you think it would be better to:
a) date someone relatively close to your same age who already has children?
or
b) date someone younger (late 20s/early 30s) who can still have children [...]
“The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.” — The Olympic Creed
Wow, have I been lax on posting anything original lately. As often happens, life has taken a few unexpected turns and I just haven’t really gotten around to it.
For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became [...]
So the previous post is just general good advice, based on a few recent splits that I’ve witnessed. But seeing how these splits evolved has certainly given me insight into how I handle my own splits.

BRIGHT EYES – FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE
This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They’re spreading blankets on the beach
Yours was the first face that I saw I think I was blind before [...]
I hate summer. Yeah … I said it. I hate summer. Spring, winter and fall? Love them, but I can’t stand the heat of summer.
I’m pretty sure I’ve written somewhere in the past about how I seem to get seasonal affective disorder, but in reverse … I relish the winter, and always seem [...]
… when something that could be really, really good sneaks up on you out of nowhere; when old friends re-enter your life, and it’s even better than it was way back when …
I’m enjoying this.
MAY DAY
I’ve decided to waste my life again, Like I used to: get drunk on The light in the leaves, find a wall Against which something can happen,
Whatever may have happened Long ago—let a bullet hole echoing The will of an executioner, a crevice In which a love note was hidden,
Be [...]
