Everything, sort of

It's not that my life is a nightmare, I'm just really bad at handling stress and have crippling anxiety and self-esteem problems. They're not as bad now as they have been at some other points so ... progress, I guess, though I've backslid before. Tongue

I am most frazzled by

my inability NOT to be frazzled by what other people do or say. I'm trying to cultivate a live-and-let-live mindset but it's hard--especially these days.

I am a dreamer of words, of written words. I think I am reading; a word stops me. I leave the page. The syllables of the words begin to move around … The words take on other meanings as if they had the right to be young.

-- Gaston Bachelard

After 8 deployments to the Persian Gulf region

and getting shot at more times than I can remember, I have a pretty good handle on not letting minor things frazzle me. As long as no one is trying to kill me, I can keep a balanced perspective on what really matters.


They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters, these see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. -Psalm 107

Not really things so much as just certain days

Somedays I can handle the stress (and boredom, mostly boredom) that comes with the normal middle-class life in the USA, and somedays I don't do so well. I'm not sure why that is - lack of sleep, too much caffeine (or not enough), or something else. 2017 for me had so many changes, some good & some bad, that I've considered writing a memoir about it. But truthfully, my life is pretty normal and secure (and somewhat boring), so there's not really much to stress about. I wouldn't say I'm one with the universe or anything so early 70s as that, but yeah, overall life is pretty good. I don't even think my weight is stressing me out as much as it used to, and that's always been "my precious."

I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies - this is me!

Not much

Now that I have retired, I don't have the stress that went with medical practice, and my blood pressure has gone down. As long as I have enough to eat and drink, and enough books to read, life is pretty good.

We are the fighting Uruk-Hai! We slew the great warrior! Well, yeah, first he killed a bunch of us and another whole lot of Mauhúr's lads, and we had to shoot enough arrows into him to drop a Mûmak. But we got him!
