If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to

(Lyrics: Breathe, Anna Nalick)

I decided long ago to take my health into my own hands, to make my own world what it is. Not perfect, but CONTENT. It's amazing how modern society undermines how important contentment is to quality of life. I see very few contented people. Came here from autisable, your stuff is intriguing, will come back for more soon.

This is my 100th post, 38 months since I started blogging. My life has gone through a real baptism with fire with the loss of my marriage (she just walked out the door), my kids (half time), my home (foreclosure), my job (cut back). And I'm still alive and blogging though it all!!! I have a great job now although the family income is $42,000 less than it was 3 years ago. And ask me if I care????...... If I loose my grip, will I take flight? I think so. Check out http://www.ronirvine.net/blog.html Hey, guess what? This is my 100th post, 38 months since I started blogging.
