I continue to work diligently and purposefully on my life goals. The bank has given us a tentative approval on our mortgage refinance and I can use the surplus cash to solve many of our financial obligations.
I am growing more excited in anticipation of the upcoming snowmobile trip with J. It is a great opportunity to spend some time with my son and to visit with an old friend. I also enjoy zipping around on my friends powerful sleds.
I visit another blog regularly written by a college professor that is struggling with grief and sadness resulting from the loss of his Mom, whom he loved dearly. I can genuinely feel the sadness in his words and I am often moved by his writings. He recently expressed reluctance to fully share his feelings because some readers apparently didn’t want to hear all his negativity. I left a comment on his blog encouraging him to write for himself. I continue to struggle with writing what appeals to me versus what might interest my few readers. I find that writing when I am upbeat and happy is much more difficult then when I am depressed.

Write for you! Write because you have something to express! Write because you have opinions and experiences! Write because you're alive!
yes, that sounds a little overly enthusiastic. I spend a large part of every day writing (only a small portion gets posted to my blog) and reading. I can't encourage people enough to write, even if no one else reads it. If you go back to it in a month, six months, a year, you'll be amazed how much you've grown and what you've accomplished!
Read your poem a couple entries back...touching stuff. Pipe is not a quitter. He'll keep writing. I just wish he'd ease off the self-loathing. That will take you nowhere...GaP
