The Larrea Curse

I'm beginning to wonder why I react the way I do. Given every opportunity to stray from the well beaten path, I reluctantly fall back into place. Maybe a daily dose of awareness mixed with a teaspoon of artificial sweetener will do the trick. Here's to change!

Life and Death

A loved one's mother isn't doing so well. I'm usually voluble about how a persons lifestyle directs their health all the while placing blame the sufferee. I think that's all well and good in theory but in practice, partisanship needs to be left aside and communal love needs to be expressed; shame and self loathing never shows a productive side. That's why I'm going to stop distancing myself from this situation and instead embrace it and treat it as a give and take experience.

I wish my girlfriend's mother a quick recovery. The surgery that she may undergo isn't pretty. It'll be painful and keep her away from her home and family for possibly months. It's one of those ordeals you would not wish on your worst enemy.

May the powers that Be grant me the will power to stay focused and caring but more importantly, grant Martha the will of perseverance.
