Ohio, I'm just venting too! I'm having a really bad day. I thought the little story would help, but it didn't. It doesn't tell me to seize the day, but rather to treat people well. Well, I already do that.

You had me going there with digging feet in the sand and staring at the water. I used to count waves but I kept losing my place so now I just stare too and watch for dolphins. Once I just watched the moon travel across the night sky long after the beach was deserted. Hope you get lots of "blank mind" time, skinny guy. Hey, I just remembered, it's only Wednesday! Shucks. You can make it, you can make it.

Nice food for thought, red.
Carmen - getting away does help, at least for me. And I must tell you that I call a certain part of the anatomy of a certain guy friend of mine "Big Guy". So I would take that as a compliment!
And BTW...I'm an Aquarian, too. I'll be not too far away from you in New Bern for Thanksgiving. Have fun!

I just read an article on burnout. I am so there it isn't funny.
Granny, thanks for the encouragement. If I can get through these CAT scans ok Friday I will be on my way to releasing some stress. I think I just need to beat the crap out of somebody. Any volunteers?

Nice story but this is something that continues to elude me in life. As much as I subscribe to what this is saying, I personally find it very hard to implement on a daily basis. The same as the old saying, "live today like it might be your last". Makes sense. I try to do it. But, alas, I get covered in the shit of the day.

Stop relying on institutions, organizations and others. Rely on yourself, your family and your close friends. Thats who you've got, and thats who'll stand by you.
I agree with the Wooden Bowl. It will be better tomorrow.
