I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
There are many bad feelings to experience in daily life. There are good ones to be sure. Afterall, I’m a sunny curmudgeon. However, there are those bad feelings that erode at your soul. So much so that you feel you need a tetanus shot for your emotional skeleton. […]
Growing up, I didn’t really look forward to Sundays. In an odd way, I still don’t. But for entirely different reasons. I’ll get to that in a bit as I tend to wander in and out of my stories. Not everything needs to be linear. Back to childhood […]
In case you didn’t notice, it’s not ok Funny how a blessing feels just like a curse Just an invitation would have been just fine I gave all I had to give In the middle of the room, I did not hear from you We’re caught in a […]
