No April Fool’s Joke

On April 1, 2000 Angela and I went out on our first date. (Insert your own “fool” joke here) Eight years later, well, here we are. Happily married and enjoying our lives together.

I point that out not so much as a way to point out how very lucky I’ve been since then (I have), but because eight years ago, I had absolutely no idea this would happen.

You see, sometimes life is like that. One date with the thought of “let’s see what happens”, turns into 6 years and counting of marriage. You just never know where things will take you in life. That’s all the more reason to experience it as much as you are able. The experiences might not end up the same way our date from 8 years ago did, but you’ll be better for whatever experiences come your way!

  • Why Finding your Current Baseline Matters

    Many people give up on healing because they can’t see how far they’ve come. They can only see how far away their ideal self is from where they are now. Sadly, this ideal is often unrealistic. We are also blind to our progress because we didn’t set the baseline. We look at our status today and can only compare it to what we think we should be instead of looking back and seeing how much improvement there was.
