I remember when Steve and I bought our second house, one of the first things I did was paint the living room from white to a nice soothing green. I loved it. We had nice big Oak trees out front and a nice big windows in the livingroom and it made the room feel like…
all in my head.
one of the re-occuring quandires I seem to face again and again, and I know I'm not alone, is "is this all in my head?" what is my reality. reality is simply my perception of things around me. that reality is altered by my interpretation of the facts presented. how much do we shape our…
today.
was a good day. the last week or so i've been plagued by panic attacks. i'm sure there are a variety of factors. stress. i've added a 2nd (or 3rd depending on how you define it) job bartending at Trion Tavern. I've decided to do this for numerous reasons. The simplest one to explain is…
