Welcome to Jerrysworld!

Xyzzy doesn't mean shit.

Today was a day of peace. There was healing and comfort in a part of my life which I'd though impossible to heal and comfort in the past. What'a wonderful feeling! What's more amazing is the confluence of events that needed to happen to bring about this peace: my relationship with M, my past work, my current work, health issues, years of therapy, and most of all, God. What an uplifting feeling, when you see everything lock into place. Years of pain, sorrow and suffering resolved in one 24 hours period. I think, though, a large part of it comes from my feelings on the matter. I am resolved that there are certain truths that cannot change. As long as I accept those truths, my feelings are invincible. I am at peace with those truths in this situation; what a freeing feeling! As long as I accept that I cannot change these truths, I meditate and pray on peace as a final outcome, and the universe aligns to meet that wish. What a wonderful feeling!

I've taken up Crossfit, which havs been a very positive change in my life. After 2 months, I'm significantly stronger and feel so much better. Starting today, my class is doing the Primal Blueprint, which resembles Atkins and South Beach with the added twist of a local + organic focus. It fits quite well with the Pacific Northwest culture and it's probably one of the few places in the world where it's actually practical and affordable to try such a diet. Every food store around here is teeming with fresh organic produce. Of course the low/no carb downside makes this a true challenge. I love my bread and even whole grains are out for this diet. I'm opting for the "in-moderation" approach because, well, otherwise I'm starving all the time .. and cranky. A few years back, M and I tried the South Beach purge and after a week were ready to kill each other. I don't plan on going through that again. We'll see ... I'm up for a change and am looking forward to the challenge.

Who ever heard of a dog who needs artificial tear ducts. That's our little cocker spaniel. Poor thing, he's a complete mess. We have special ear cleaning lest they get infected, nightly face washes to clear the goo, nerve pills cause he's crazy. Never have I encountered such a high-maintenance dog. He's a big ball of crazy and problems all wrapped up in a little hairy package. It's a good thing he's so damn lovable. No matter what, he's up for a cuddle. And anythng is worth that.

Busting through that block was the best thing ever. I was cranking out the communications today: cleared my email queue, wrote my one pager, drafted my press release, started on some FAQs. Yee haw! Even my trouble seemed to become a bit easier. Slow and steady with that one; work the plan. I picked up Crossfit about a month back. Because I was in Vegas last week, I didn't get a chance to go to class. I went tonight and it feels so good to go to bed tired. I love that feeling. I can't believe I almost couldn't motivate myself to go tonight. This entry was brought to you by my completely vapid mind of the moment. I realize it was pretty shallow, but hey, it's about me and not you. Maybe I'll get deeper tomorrow. Maybe not. Time will tell.

Sometimes when you need to get out of a rut, you need to take an action, any action. Well, I find myself not able to write. Things aren't flowing naturally as they once did. I need to change that ... so here goes. Take that, you friggin writer's block. "I fart in your general direction." Bring on the creativity!
