It has been a while since my last post.... sorry. I have been spending my coffee shop time writing my first short story. The circumstances of my life have changed dramatically and I can honestly say that I am happy today. That's right... happy. This is the first time I have emerged from a depression without the assistance of medication. This morning I drove to the coffee shop in my sons little sportscar with the sunroof open and John Mayer blaring from Pandora. I felt joy in my heart and wore a smile on my face as I passed under the trees and I actually noticed how beautiful the morning is. So what has changed?
I made my first movie (and made a bunch of new friends in the process)
I wrote my first short story which received excellent reviews
I am very involved in the cadet program
I am mentoring a young lady
B received his offer letter and I will be paying $20,000 LESS for tuition this year
I joined a mens therapy group and I have attended two sessions
I have had two individual sessions with a therapist I really like
J is working
D is happy (and going to the gym losing 25 lbs)
B continues to excel at pretty much everything
During our last mens group meeting everyone had to update the group on what was happening in their life. As I listened to a massive amount of misery (mostly related to jobs and wives) I felt strangely out of place. When it came to my turn I had to reach into the past to pull out some darkness as I did not want to be the one happy guy amongst a bunch of very sad men.
