Goals

“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.” -Ernest Hemingway

Thats what Im working on today, because right now, life seems kind of hopeless and hard. Oh, I know I've got it good. I may not have a home of my own, but I have a bed, and family that I get to hug everyday. I don't have an income, but because I don't have a home, my expenses are kept to a minimum, and hopefully, after 2.5 years of being single, I will have my divorce by the end of spring. I Facetimed my mom this morning and the first thing she said was, "You're struggling with depression aren't you. I know when you're depressed because you get quiet and hide in your room." Yep. Its a weird roller coaster of emotions Im on right now, moments of happiness, with depression and sadness always just below the surface; I have a feeling that there a quite a few people out there feeling the same way. The one thing that never fails to improve my mood and make me feel alive, is walking; I crave physical activity, and unless the weather is horrendously nasty, I will be outside.

Todays shot of the Grove Park Inn, from Merrimon Ave. It was chilly, a little rainy, and felt wonderful.
