Perceptions create our reality...

There is a Buddhist tenet that our thinking creates the world.

For far too long I have been limited by the dark cloud that has shaped my family's finances and limited our opportunities to engage in things we enjoy.

So today I decided to tolerate what I have to, for today, to make the almightly dollar and get through this.

I also got some good news today that a friend of mine may be moving closer to me. This will be good for both our recoveries at this time.

And I am getting the hang of things a bit more at the new job. I'm still not thrilled, but I think I can see the light of day. Of course, the fact that it is beautiful weather outside helps too.

Last night I also talked to a professional writer - one who has made his living doing political writing - and he offered to meet with me and discuss my writing and where I may be able to go from here with it. This also offers hope to my soul.

Thanks for reading, in good times and bad. Until tomorrow...
