April Fools Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Perhaps you won’t be surprised to know that Angela and I went on our first date exactly 5 years ago tonight. We’re both just a couple of fools!

I definitely didn’t foresee what was to come over the next 5 years, but then again it just goes to show you how much life goes on and things change quickly and things sometimes take us by surprise. It’s a real rollercoaster, life, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on the ride!

On another note, I’ve been considering starting up an email list for this site. I’ve noticed that the forums really haven’t taken off the way I had hoped, so I was thinking about an email list, where every post to this blog would get mailed out to the list, and all of the subscribers could discuss those posts, or anything else they wanted to discuss. What do you think? Would you subscribe?

    You should not feel sorry for me. This post isn’t about me. As I said, I have a condition that millions of people deal with every day. I’ll do the same. It’s about the reality that people around us are living with things that require efforts that we don’t understand. Just showing up for life every day requires effort and dedication from everyone you know. The amount of effort and challenges are different, and they are not distributed equally. You shouldn’t dismiss anyone’s struggles, especially if you’ve not been in those same circumstances yourself. 

    Some things have to be experienced to see all the details. When someone is willing to share the details of their challenges, listen and learn. Raise their voices instead of assuming you know the answers. 

    Experience is a hard teacher. We all can learn the lessons from those who’ve lived it.

    My wife and I went to see A Beautiful Mind tonight. It was a good movie, but a difficult one for me to watch. Anything that reminds me of the complete emptiness that losing time created in my soul is tough for me to swallow. Watching John come to grips with his delusions, and the…

    It’s been a very eventful couple of weeks in the workplace for me, but it’s also provided a very interesting look into the people I work with. One of my coworkers needed to take a leave of absence. Nothing that doesn’t go on in the business world every day, but in a small office like…

  1. Its always a bit hard to get something like this off the ground – especially since there are so many other resources out there.

    This is why I shelved mine – and decided it was more for therapy for myself then for anyone else.

    I wish you luck.
