Also, Jack has given you some good advice but first rule out chemical imbalances. Unfortunately, chemistry trumps Zen every time. My life has been difficult...polio, cancer etc. but my brain chemistry has been essentially alright. All men suffer and all men should take help when it's available. You have astonishing intelligence. That's obvious. Reach out, let go of what is already gone no matter how difficult, and extend your hand to others when you are strong enough to do so. I wish you the very best.Cletis https://www.blogger.com/profile/01865557276496148455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27279978.post-3298393921838834272011-03-10T19:05:39.182-05:002011-03-10T19:05:39.182-05:00Rich, you silly son of a bitch.

One of the friends I lost was someone very VERY special to me, and even nearly three years after the infraction, this person still refuses even to talk to me. Though gawd nose I keep trying.<br /><br />But again, thanks, Jack - you have done your part to reach out to someone in need today. That makes you at least a little bit better person than me.<br /><br />--RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27279978.post-61237072672018787552011-02-22T20:45:07.348-05:002011-02-22T20:45:07.348-05:00Rich,

This winter, though, has been very brutal for the entire country. 47 of the 48 continental states have been snowed upon, in some cases quite heavily.<br /><br />You mentioned having driven off some people in your life. I wish that weren't so, because once you've lost a friend, it's terrible. My only advice would be to look outward rather than inward. If you make an honest attempt at reaching out to someone who really needs to be reached out to, you WILL reap dividends. Sometimes, when we're all wrapped up in our own problems, we inadvertantly cut other people off. By opening one's eyes and really looking around us, we can all make an important difference in someone else's life. And when we do, we BOTH benefit and are both happy.<br /><br />I would encourage you to reach out to someone who needs it. Yes - they DO need you, and yes - you WILL feel better! Good luck! You'll do well...Jack Jodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02165430903903838990noreply@blogger.com
