And it sounds like you have your head on straight and your general priorities in order, so I'm not too worried about you. Neil - as I've said to you privately, much PUBLIC positive think/speak deserves mocking. I just try to take care not to throw out the baby with the bathwater (has anyone ever done that?

I'll be trying to remember to steal it and use it, though with my memory in the shape it is these days you don't have much to fear or resent. What a sweet and touching posting. I'm voting for you writing sometime about guilt. I have no idea what guilt is. (Raised Protestant, so I know shame. But guilt's a puzzle.) The Wife stomps around sometimes, looking tormented, and I've learned that at such moments she's feeling and enacting this "guilt" thing. But what the hell? How about a posting where you enlighten those of us not in the know about what guilt is? You seem on pretty familiar terms with it. Actually, when I first started hanging out with guilt-ridden types (Jews, Catholics), I found it and them pretty sexy. We "shame" people tend to hide what's bugging us -- that's just in the nature of shame. You guilt people act it all out. It's so ... hot! I love your “Camp Go Fuck Yourself”!

I'm embarrassed to have been mocking positive thinking lately. You really know how to do it. That was such a positive, uplifting post. I’m embarrassed to have been mocking positive thinking lately.

I skip straight to the comments (they're dessert) and then go back and read the entry, especially when the comments include lots of ARROWS that say, "GO READ THIS ENTRY!" (that really helps a lot). But mostly I just want to stop coming to this awful job (2 weeks, 2 days left). And write stuff. And eventually fall in love. And have great sex. In some order. Not me, not yet {sigh}.

But I guess that's the point. And age does give one a perspective youth cannot. Thanks for the kind words. Bon—you <em>are</em> as wise; you just teach different classes.

Damn, CoCo. I hope I can be as wise as you someday. Seriously. I know it's not easy (and I'm not saying that you make it look easy, as you do love to talk about the work, a thing I so admire that you do), but you sure do it with so much grace that it looks, well, do-able. Thank you for being so open with your process. You rule the tool. Awesome, awesome, and more awesome.

I made me think of people from my past... hmmm It would seem that though you say you are impatient by nature, things are turning around. You are seeing time in a new light. Take Care of yourself.
